Abstract	This presentation focuses on two recent advances in simulation technologies developed at STI. The first is the Driver Assessment Training System or DATS. DATS was designed to give driver¡¦s education instructors, occupational therapists, and other researchers a tool to assess an individuals driving performance. DATS provided the end user with a tool to train individuals (using html presentation files and STISIM Drive„· simulator scenarios) without the need for constant supervision. The latest version of DATS can be fully customized using two distinct modes. Closed mode mimics the original application where users are locked into a preplanned routine, while the open mode allows the user to select from a variety of training scenarios. The second advance is Fused-Reality (patent pending) that emerged from the need for innovative approaches to rotorcraft cabin crew training. Fused-Reality, the STI response to this challenge, employs a novel and elegant method using three proven technologies ¡V live video capture, real-time video editing (blue screen imaging), and virtual environment simulation. Video from the trainee¡¦s perspective is sent to a processor that preserves near-space (cabin environment) pixels and makes transparent the far-space (out-the-cabin) pixels using blue screen imaging techniques. In this way the user directly views the physical cabin environment, while the simulated outside world serves as a backdrop.
