6SENSE's individual AI models provide key information to AVI: allowing each student's version of AVI to uniquely adapt to them, enhancing their learning experience and outcomes for superior advancement.

Current Individualised AI driven features include:

AVI - Artificial Virtual Instructor

AVI is an individualised AI model, trained from user inputs and other 6SENSE AI models. AVI is the central contact hub within the BLACK6 Ops Suite - providing training, assessment, feedback, assistance and tips to every user type. As AVI learns about the user and starts to contextualise the experience within the BLACK6 Ops Suite applications, AVI is able to provide increasingly effective outcomes for the individual.

AVI is an agent-based virtual instructor combining an array of components to guide, assist, and instruct students throughout their training. AVI is tailored and adapts to each individual student, and the collected data is integrated into a central model to enhance AVI's overall performance across all students. Each component agent contributes unique insights, ranging from predictive analytics to visual recognition, that are reintegrated to provide tailored, real-time feedback and instruction. Component agents are:

  • Predictive Model
  • Vision Model
  • Adaptive Learning Model
  • Assessment Engine
  • Data Debrief and Analysis Model
  • Guidance and Feedback Model
  • Takeover and Demonstration Model

Predictive Model

Predicts the short-term future state of the assets within the environment (e.g. an aircraft during flight). It is used with the Assessment Engine to predict potential failures of goals (segments) and provide corrective actions to the Guidance and Feedback Model.

Vision Model

Analyses students' views in the simulator through computer vision and eye tracking. It observes and determines eye movement (e.g. whether the student is looking at the correct gauges, noticing other aircraft) and reaction timing, deriving crucial data on student focus and process.

Adaptive Learning Model

Analyses students’ previous flight performance history to inform, adapt, and improve the lesson to their individual needs. The lesson structure supports a dynamic block-based structure with adjustable elements, such as weather, wind, computer-generated traffic, and emergencies. This allows the model to tailor lessons to student performance and adjust simulation environment accordingly.

Assessment Engine

Student performance is applied against defined assessment criteria in real time, giving up to the second feedback to student and assessor. Performance may be scored against assessor-defined matrices or benchmarks, including for assessor review and adjustment. Each assessable component is individually monitored and reported on, with the insertion of relevant feedback via AVI delivered in-simulation and for post-activity debrief.

Data Debrief and Analysis Model

Data is analysed and debriefed for students and instructors post-simulation. The data feeds back into the adaptive learning model, allowing for adaptations and improvements to guide the student’s next attempt. Adjustments to simulation complexity and difficulty in order to ensure continuous improvement for student skillsets through tailored, achievable ramping.

Guidance and Feedback Model

Integrates, analyses, and interprets data from other models, summarises, and injects key information into verbal and/or visual prompts to the student within the simulation. This facilitates the opportunity for almost instantaneous skill correction and improvement within the relevant, subject activity.

Takeover and Demonstration Model

Targeted and timely instruction can be delivered to the student via AVI stepping in and demonstrating correct skill performance. This can also be achieved by pre-recorded assessor demonstration, or AI-driven in real time. This is particularly suited to early skill development, and students with visually focused learning pathways.
