The new series ""Context Architecture"" seeks to take a critical selection of concepts that play a vital role in the current discourse and put them up for discussion. In the context of discussions of the medial, the notion of simulation plays a central role in architecture as illusion and imitation.
Three techniques of presenting troubleshooting information were experimentally evaluated using a paper and pencil test to simulate equipment characteristics. Ss were 222 AF basic trainees. The results indicate that procedural instructions are significantly more efficient (p < 0.001) than standard schematics or data flow diagrams in terms of troubleshooting time and accuracy. The interactive effects of circuit type and circuit complexity were determinates of troubleshooting problem difficulty. As circuit complexity increases, so also does the efficiency of procedural instructions relative to the efficiency of standard schematics and data flow diagrams.

In this paper, the authors build an immersive training space using building-scale VR, a technology that makes a virtual space based on an entire building existing in the real world. The space is used for presentations, allowing students to self-train. The results of a presentation are automatically evaluated by using machine learning or the like and fed back to the user. In this space, users can meet their past selves (more accurately, their avatars), so they can objectively observe their presentations and recognize weak points. The authors developed a mechanism for recording and reproducing activities in virtual space in detail and a mechanism for applying machine learning to activity records. With these mechanisms, a system for recording, reproducing, and automatically evaluating presentations was developed.

Examines the use of information technology to improve the presentation of professional knowledge and expertise in the field of property‐related issues. Discusses the importance of presentation and describes word processing, desk‐top publishing, spreadsheets and business graphics. Demonstrates the use of simple graphical alternatives to tabulated data and the use of matrices. Concludes that the production of financial appraisals and reports on which important decisions are made is an area in which presentation techniques must be skilfully and professionally employed.
