Analysis of Human Performance and Potential Application of Virtual Reality (VR) Shooting Games as a Shooting Training Simulator for Military Personnel
Shooting is one of the essential abilities that
military personnel must regularly train. One technology that can be applied to
the military shooting sector is the Virtual Reality (VR) shooting game. This
technology is a shooting training simulator for Military Personnel. This study
compares the shooting performance of military personnel in both real and
virtual environments. The researchers analyzed the learning curve of the
shooting performance, measured the degree of reality, immersive level, and
usability of the VR shooting games, and tested the potential application of the
simulator. The result showed that the shooting accuracy and precision in real
and virtual shooting conditions do not significantly differ. This means that
using a VR shooting game simulator can represent the training conditions in the
actual shooting range. The shooting speed in virtual environments is related to
the stages of the shooter (position, breath control, aiming, and trigger
control), which are influenced by human performance factors (shock, vibration,
and gun explosions). In addition, the shooting performance when practicing
virtual shooting increased significantly, proving a learning curve for adapting
to virtual environments in the simulator. VR shooting games had a total SUS
score of 81.1, categorized as Grade A usability or excellent usability. Based
on the results of the Pearson correlation test, there is a strong positive
relationship between the SUS questionnaire and Presence Questionnaire (0.908),
SUS and Immersive Tendencies Questionnaire (0.802), and Presence Questionnaire
and Immersive Tendencies Questionnaire (0.814). Good usability in VR shooting
games positively influences the degree of reality and can make participants
feel a high presence when shooting virtually. Thus, VR shooting games are
appropriate to support military shooting training for military personnel
