Only a few weeks ago we received one of the first Oculus Quests in Australia. The meaning of this is the VR can now truly come into its own. The specific feature of the Quest which is such a game-changer is the 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DOF) compared to 3 degrees of freedom (3dof) on previous standalone headsets such as the Vive Focus, Lenovo Daydream, and Oculus Go. This refers to the number of different directions an object can move in 3D space. 3DOF headsets can track your head orientation (knows where you are looking and tracks you as you move […]
I was recently lucky enough to participate in a Master Class on Reality Based Training (RBT) delivered by Ken Murray who is the director of training for the Armiger Police training institute and co-founder of SIMUNITION. I have been training realistic simulation for years yet this session had a profound impact on me, confirming, explaining and informing me on much of the ‘why’ we do RBT and providing insight on how to improve in a range of areas. I have since had the opportunity to read Ken’s book ‘Training at the Speed of Life’, which in my opinion a must […]
One of my pet frustrations is going into a workplace and being told by the staff, OH/S coordinator or manager that they don’t keep ANY medications onsite as it’s ‘illegal’.
Originally published on the 15th March 2017 1) It’s too expensive: Simulation training has evolved from the military, airlines and health, and often the benchmark for simulation training is a F-35 Joint Strike Fighter or a 747 simulator. Therefore, I completely understand why it may be seen as unaffordable for most companies. However, the reality is simulation does not need to be so expensive If you want a helicopter to hover above the trainee’s heads to add realism, then obviously the cost will be prohibitively high. However, there are simpler ways to create a realistic environment for a cost that nearly […]
The management of heat stroke has been recorded as far back as 24BCE, when Roman soldiers were told to drink olive oil and wine while rubbing both into their bodies in response to overheating
