Abstract
An apparatus includes a training area in the form of an enclosed space in which light levels can be controlled, at least one physical element related to a task for which an individual is to be trained, and a lighting arrangement. The lighting arrangement generates a background luminance level in the training area sufficient to cause the vision system of the individual to function in the mesopic or low photopic range of vision, and the physical elements are themselves illuminated by an illumination means. The luminance level of the physical elements is greater than the background luminance level.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a training area in the form of an enclosed space in which light levels can be controlled;
- at least one physical element related to a task for which an individual is to be trained, wherein one or more of the at least one physical element is illuminated by a physical element illumination means;
- and
- a lighting arrangement, wherein the lighting arrangement generates a background luminance level in the training area, wherein the background luminance level is produced by UV light sources, and wherein the lighting arrangement generates a luminance level of one or more of the at least one physical element in the training area, wherein the luminance level of one or more of the at least one physical element is produced by UV illuminated fluorescent material such that one or more of the at least one physical element emits visible light, providing a luminance level of one or more of the at least physical element that is greater than the background luminance level, and wherein the background luminance level is greater than or equal to 0.001 cd/m2.
