Well, yes, but specific simulation required by your employer is different to spending every waking hour pretending you'rean airline pilot (or a WWII ace, or an astronaut in some cases)

Virtuality is something that is going to be an increasing part of human society as long as civilisation can support a technological culture. In fact, we are experiencing virtual reality straight out of the biological box. Research into vision sugggests that colour is a fabrication of our brain. there is no intrinsic quality of light that actually colours anything. It's just that our brains interpret the various wavelengths of light into visual categories. That's something we learn to do as soon as we can see, and bizarrely our ability to interpret colour is linked to our ability to describe it - so language and colour recognition are linked, although biologically blue and yellow are hardwired in by evolution for some reason.

I also find this aspect of visual interpretation and genuine perception quite interisting. I often asked myself if there is such a thing as pure red, pure blue-not as physical wavelength but as holistic human resource (hard to hit the right word here). If pereception of colours is biologically determined, could it still be that e.g. what I call red is indeed what the rest of the world calls blue? And what I call a warm colour is in fact the opposite..lol, call me sick, that is the weird sort of mindset I am going through when killing my sleep knowing I actually have to get up in a couple. :roll: :lol: :mrgreen:

My theory on this specific matter is that we all have the same perception of colours yet that there may be nuances in visual interpretation that theoretically make each human biological sensor-set unique. Yet the level of potential generelization must be high enough to ensure optical steering methods to name one example apply for all potential pilots..eg. HUD colours and saturations have the same effect on all qualified F-16 pilots....God, how did I get here...
No I am not drugged...carry on and ignore my pathetic attempt to write what I really meant..
