Schuurink, E.L. Toet, A. TNO Defensie en Veiligheid Publication year 2008 Abstract We assessed the effects of the addition of dynamic visual elements and sounds to a levee patroller training game on the appraisal of the environment and weather conditions, the engagement of the users and their performance. Results show that the combination of visual dynamics and sounds best conveys the impression of severe weather conditions and most strongly influences the appraisal of the environment. Moderate effects on the engagement of the participants were found. © 2008 IEEE.
