Biometric Feedback and Human Performance
Human performance is an area of study that researchers have been challenged to measure in just about any scenario involving a human and a task, or tool. In the past, human performance measures required a formal setting to measure. Given today’s technological advancements there are more refined processes and tools that assist in the identification of human error and measures to improvement with ease. Today, technology allows those with the task of improving human performance a more creative, mobile and versatile means.
BioSension develops training support products that use augmented and virtual environments to provide video and physical and behavioral biometrics to support valuable biofeedback to firearm marksmanship instructors and trainees in real-time to serve as influences to human performance.
Efficient biofeedback has value to the learner and the instructor to decrease training time and effect physiological conditioning to training. In order for marksmanship training to be effective, it is important that both the instructor and the trainee have mutual understanding of what is taking place during a training exercise.
Biometric sensor data and video can capture learner characteristics unseen to the instructor and confirm subjective observation with objective data. In essence, this data can be analyzed in real-time to adjust training difficulty to individual learner needs, decrease training-time and improve long term transfer to real-world environments.
Biometric Sensor Fusion
Biometric Sensor Fusion (BioSension) Software revolutionizes the traditional training practice of marksmen instructor observation and subjective feedback through the creation of a performance support tool. This technology is advanced to collect data for interpretation to the instructor and instant feedback to the trainee. This synthesis of information serves to take human performance efficiency to higher levels to achieve competency milestones relative to marksmanship training.
Leveraging upon the subject matter expertise (SME) of elite military special forces snipers and marksmanship competencies, BioSension allows for the instructor to create personalized training scenarios that scaffold training objectives to the needs of the individual or group, in a face to face or remote venue,
The trainee is also afforded real time instructional support through biometric feedback to assist in the training.
