Matching Simulator Type to Training Objectives

While every training program has unique needs, this section serves as a roadmap, highlighting where various simulation solutions truly shine. Each type excels in effectively delivering training at different levels. By understanding these strengths, you'll gain valuable insights into how simulations can supplement and augment your existing program, ultimately optimizing its effectiveness. 

This table provides a general overview, and the training needs analysis will remain your compass in selecting the most suitable simulation type for your specific program. However, by familiarizing yourself with the general capabilities of each solution, you'll be well-equipped to envision how simulations can elevate your training and transform your trainees. 

Simulation Type	Best Delivery on General Topics	Considerations
Physical Simulations	Procedural skills for tactile experience	High cost for complex scenarios
Computer-Based Trainers	Repetitive skills	Low immersion and may not be suited for complex skills
Projection Based Simulators	Blend between virtual and tactile experiences	Requires dedicated space
Virtual Reality	Soft skills and complex decision-making	Motion sickness in some users
Augmented Reality	High fidelity virtual and tactile experiences	High initial investment cost
Hybrid Simulators	Multifaceted training environments	Requires integration of multiple technologies. May be complex to setup and manage
