Simulation process with user-defined factors for interactive user training
First Claim
1. A process for training a user to respond properly to a real event comprising:
- a) enabling the user to input event data representing a real event, wherein the event data comprises two or more factors having attributes assigned by the user; and
b) providing a three-dimensional simulation of the event using the event data, wherein the simulation comprises one or more scenarios, each having one or more stages in which each factor has one or more assignments.

Abstract
A process for modeling and graphically simulating a real environment in order to train a user to obtain a desired performance. This process enables the user to input model parameters from real events to simulate the real event, to interact with the system, and to track the results. The process uses factors, one of which is the user, to simulate real scenarios. Each factor is defined by parameters and data from the real event. All factors are input prior to the simulation; the user'"'"'s event data is input automatically as the user reacts to the other factors'"'"' actions during the simulation. The system tracks the user'"'"'s performance and compares it to what happened in the real event. This system has particular application to training the user to respond properly in real situations, such as sporting events, medical emergencies, military missions, and casino gaming.

16. An apparatus for simulating a user'"'"'s response to a real event comprising:
-
a) an input device enabling the user to input event data representing the real event wherein the event data comprises two or more factors having attributes assigned by the user;
b) an input device configured to input user data representing the user'"'"'s actions;
c) a data processing unit connected to the input devices, the data processing unit including;
i. a modeling process that processes event data to model a real event; and
ii. a simulation process that processes user data to display the user'"'"'s actions in the simulated environment wherein the simulation comprises one or more scenarios, each having one or more stages in which each factor has one or more assignments;
iii. a tracking process that tracks the user'"'"'s actions in the simulated environment;
iv. a comparison process that compares the user'"'"'s actions to the outcome of the real event;
v. a query process that queries the user with text regarding the user'"'"'s desired performance in the scenario. d) a visual display that presents the text and a simulated view of user'"'"'s actions in the simulated environment. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
