In order to reduce the costs associated with training a Landing Signalman Enlisted (LSE), the Navy has initiated a research and development program to capitalize on current and emerging virtual environment technology. Advances in virtual environments may provide a cost effective solution to the current live helicopter operations method of training, provided technical issues associated with hand and wand signal motion capture and analysis can be solved. This report presents the results of a Phase 1 SBIR (Topic N96056) feasibility study to evaluate the potential for a virtual vertical aircraft signal training system development The approach included: (1) evaluating and reviewing current, emerging and novel technologies in human motion analysis and virtual environment displays for potential use in this device; (2) collecting and reviewing fleet input, pertinent rules, regulations and policies and potential facility constraints to help determine the optimal design of the device to support fleet requirements and interests; and (3) reviewing current, emerging and novel technologies for creating a cost effective alternative to the present mode of training. As a result of the feasibility study features of the LSE's operating environment have been identified and found compatible with current and emerging commercial off the shelf (COTS) multimedia computer technology.
