The application described in this paper is partly a stand-alone application and partly one of the modules of the MUSTER system (Multi-User System for Training Emergency Response). The system architecture and its modules are described in accompanying papers published in the TIEMEC `95 Proceedings. (V. Andersen and H.B. Andersen, 1995, contains an overview of the MUSTER system, while details about specific modules, configurations and aspects of target scenarios are described in Balducelli et al., 1995, and in H.B. Andersen et al. 1995.) In this paper the authors discuss some of the reasons why visual input is of particular importance to trainees who play the role of site decision makers.
