Multi-media object identification system with comparative magnification response and self-evolving scoring
First Claim
1. A recognition training system for teaching a user to identify an entity in a virtual environment, the system comprising:
- (a) a computer;
(b) a visual output device configured to display output from said computer; and
(c) devices configured for audio input to and audio output from said computer, said computer configured to receive audio input from the user regarding the identity of an image of an entity presented to the user,(d) wherein said visual output comprises visual feedback for correction of the user'"'"'s errors, and(e) wherein said visual feedback comprises visual manipulation of both an image of the correct entity and an image of an incorrectly identified entity.

Abstract
A multi-media/simulation training system, in conjunction with a specifically developed and utilized training process, that improves target recognition skills and enhances gunnery training. The system has implications in other cognitive development activities, as well as—but not limited to—medical, technological, biological, anthropological and other areas of study with objects requiring accurate recognition and designation, as well as personnel identification devices, games, and entertainment systems. The system uses a combination of verbal and visual error correction, including magnification and rotation of both the test image and the incorrect image identified by the trainee, to enhance observation and knowledge of visible differences.

7. A recognition training method for teaching a user to identify a virtual entity in a virtual environment, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) providing, by a computer-based system, a virtual environment to the user; (b) providing, by the computer-based system, an image of the entity operating within said environment; (c) accepting, by the computer-based system, input from the user wherein, said input is a verbal or alpha-numeric representation of the user'"'"'s identification of the entity; and (d) providing, by the computer-based system, feedback to the user wherein said feedback comprises one of; (i) affirmative feedback for a correct identification of the entity; and
,(ii) negative feedback for an incorrect identification of the entity, the negative feedback comprising visual manipulation of both an image of the correct entity and an image of an incorrectly identified entity. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product comprising a usable medium having control logic stored therein for causing a computer to teach a user to identify a virtual entity in a virtual environment, the control logic comprising:
-
(a) first computer readable program code means for providing a virtual environment to the user; (b) second computer readable program code means for providing an image of the entity operating within said environment; (c) third computer readable program code means for accepting input from the user wherein, said input is a verbal or alpha-numeric representation of the user'"'"'s identification of the entity; and (d) fourth computer readable program code means for providing feedback to the user wherein said feedback comprises one of; (i) affirmative feedback for a correct identification of the entity; and
, negative feedback for an incorrect identification of the entity, the negative feedback comprising visual manipulation of both an image of the correct entity and an image of an incorrectly identified entity. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
