Abstract: Simulations offer a safe, repeatable and controlled way of providing training to humans and for evaluating the value of the training. This paper describes a simulation system that we are developing for the purposes of training customs officers to identify risk situations. The work brings together research from virtual environments; narrative intelligence; language technology and knowledge acquisition to develop a training system we are using to evaluate the effect of factors on our architecture and implementation such as visualization, interaction, and immersion on engagement and learning.
