Virtual environments (VE) are human-computer interfaces in which the computer creates a sensory-immersing environment that interactively responds to and is controlled by the behaviour of the user.
The challenges faced by 21st-century businesses, organizations and governments are characterized as being fundamentally different in nature, scope and levels of impact from those of the past.

Diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) workplaces foster a sense of belonging and support for all employees, helping them feel like integral parts of the team.
The ability to learn concepts lies at the very core of human cognition, enabling us to efficiently classify, organize, identify, and store complex information.

Research suggests that ergonomists tend to restrict themselves to two or three of their favorite methods in the design of systems, despite a multitude of variations in the problems that they face.
The focus of this book is on how experts adapt to complexity, synthesize and interpret information in context, and transform or "e;fuse"e; disparate items of information into coherent knowledge.
