Virtual reality technology can do more than teach weaponry skills in law enforcement and military personnel, a new study suggests: It can accurately record shooting performance and reliably track individuals' progress over time.
Virtual reality technology can do more than teach weaponry skills in law enforcement and military personnel, a new study suggests: It can accurately record shooting performance and reliably track individuals' progress over time.
"To our knowledge, we're the first team to answer the question of whether the simulator could be converted to an assessment tool and if it's credible to use it day-to-day," said Alex Buga, first author of the study and a PhD student in kinesiology at Ohio State. Because the lab also focuses on human performance in first responders, researchers' conversations with military and law enforcement communities convinced Buga that data collected by the simulator could be more broadly useful.
In the first task, participants fired at the same target a total of 50 times to produce measures of shooting precision. The decision-making assessment involved shooting twice within two seconds at designated shapes and colors on a screen displaying multiple shape and color choices. In the reaction-time scenario, participants shot at a series of plates from left to right as rapidly as possible.
