An integrated procedure training apparatus provides a three-dimensional
environment that facilitates the training of systems and integrated
procedures required to operate and maintain complex systems. The
three-dimensional environment is created by arranging a plurality of
touch-sensitive display surfaces in a spatial arrangement that is similar
to a spatial arrangement of real control panels of the complex system.
The training of the integrated procedures is enabled by the use of a
full-scope simulation of the complex system. Courseware or other training
aids can be used in conjunction with the system to improve learning
absorption and retention and reduce training time and reliance on skilled
instructors.
