Abstract :
A fighter pilot must create an accurate mental model of dynamic three-dimensional spatial relationships from two-dimensional head-up displays. The authors describe a US Air Force training research project to develop and assess visualization training media for their effectiveness in promoting mental model building. The theoretical approach guiding this project is based on the psychological construct of "presence" afforded by virtual world technologies.<>
