Quantifying accuracy on distance estimation tasks: A Monte Carlo study.

An important aspect of perceptual learning involves understanding how well individuals can perceive distances, sizes, and time-to-contact. Oftentimes, the primary goal in these experiments is to assess participants' errors (i.e.

Virtual reality enabled asynchronous learning modules for fiber optic preform manufacturing education.

The demand for skilled workers and novel manufacturing training solutions has increased with the growing demand for fiber optic cables. Web-based simulations can be used for training, and this paper presents an approach for developing a fiber preform manufacturing browser-based VR simulation. Subsequently, a study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation based on learning gains and learner perception of ease of use, usefulness, intention of use, learning outcomes, and workload.
