Documented studies from Denmark, USA and Canada shows incredible results from Virtual Simulation

An independent study demonstrated a 30% improvement in operational performance using Virtual Simulation for maintenance training (Canadian Air Force).

Impressive Impact on Business (IOB)

The Military in the USA and Canada have recorded some impressive Impact On Business (IOB) statistics using virtual technology:

• Training development costs reduced by 60%
• Training time reduced by 60%
• Average scores achieved of 94%
• Reduced premature failure of parts due to misuse or incorrect maintenance
• First-time-right performance increased to 96%
• Annual maintenance costs reduced by 80%
• 20 % higher first-time-right rates

Evidence that Virtual Simulation is successful:

• Landings on the moon were successful, and the only way to prepare for them was through simulation.
• Engagement simulation at the 'Top Gun' fighter school improved Navy exchange ratios in air combat over North Vietnam from 2.4 to 12.5.
• Simulator training alone qualifies commercial pilots to transition to new aircraft and is all that is needed to certify them for revenue flights.

Skills in laparoscopic surgery can be increased in a clinically relevant manner using proficiency-based virtual reality simulator training. The performance level of novices was increased to that of intermediately experienced laparoscopists (50 operations+) and operation time was halved. Simulator training should be considered before trainees carry out laparoscopic procedures. (BMJ 2009; 338 : b1802)
