IGF::OT::IGF MYMIC WILL ANALYZE, DESIGN, DEVELOP AND EVALUATE THE VIRTUAL CONTROL ROOM COMPRESSOR STATION (VCOR-CS) TRAINING SYSTEM. VCOR-CS WILL PROVIDE PROCEDURAL TRAINING TO NASA OPERATORS WITHIN A 3D VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT THAT REALISTICALLY MODELS THE COMPRESSOR STATION CONTROL ROOM. IT WILL INCLUDE AN ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION REPOSITORY TO STORE EXPERT KNOWLEDGE AND STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR DISPLAY VIA A SIMPLE, TRAINING INTERFACE. VCOR-CS WILL LEVERAGE A "CRAWL-WALK-RUN" LEARNING APPROACH WITH PRACTICE AND ASSESSMENTS LEVELS IN ORDER TO ALLOW USERS TO SLOWLY INCREASE THE COGNITIVE LOAD AND DIFFICULTY OF THEIR TRAINING. A LOG-IN CAPABILITY WILL ENABLE USER PERFORMANCE TO BE TRACKED AND TRAINING TO BE ACCESSED ON-DEMAND. MYMIC WILL EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VCOR-CS TRAINING PROTOTYPE AND ADHERENCE TO ITS LEARNING OBJECTIVES. PROJECT EFFORTS AND RESULTS WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO A FINAL REPORT. MYMIC WILL ALSO CONCEPTUALIZE THE EXPANSION OF VCOR-CS TO INCLUDE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING MODULES FOR FUTURE, FOLLOW-ON EFFORTS.
