Abstract

High-stakes professions like negotiators and pilots utilize simulations for risk-free training, enhancing skills and decision-making. Traditional simulations, while effective, are resource-intensive. Computer simulations offer a scalable alternative but lack realism and sensory engagement, impacting immersion. This study explores mobile phones’ role in simulation-based learning, using a 3D hostage-taking scenario to improve immersion through realistic interactions. The simulation integrates a detailed environment and interactive elements, and demonstrate the potential of mobile technology to enhance training in critical fields by making simulations more lifelike and engaging. This paper is presented alongside a twin paper, both part of the same project Master final project. The second paper introduces a different version of the simulation using a Large Language Model (like ChatGPT) for generating dialogue freely and interactively. It also discusses the results of a study comparing immersion levels between the two versions.
