Abstract

Rather than focusing on the pedagogical aspects of learning in Virtual Environments (VE), this chapter will introduce a number of lessons that can be learned from industries that have successfully utilised virtual technology for a number of years. Specific rules of thumb regarding the specification, development, application, and operation of these simulators that can be garnered from these specific industrial training systems will be examined in a wider context. This chapter intends to discuss some of these generic rules in the context of a number of recently developed training applications.
