Workshop:

Engaging the Learner’s Consciousness Through Sensory Fidelity An Innovative Approach.

Description:

This 60-minute workshop will explore the link between the learner’s consciousness and sensory fidelity. High-fidelity simulations aim to closely mimic real-world situations, and the degree of realism can influence how participants engage with and experience the simulated environment, potentially affecting their consciousness and perception of reality within the simulation. Incorporating the senses in simulations, especially in the context of consciousness, can create more immersive and realistic experiences.
