Simulation is a technique for rehearsal and for acquiring practical experience that can be applied to any practical application of knowledge. It is a technique (not a technology) to replicate and amplify real experiences with guided instruction, often immersive in nature, that evoke or replicate substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive fashion. Immersive here implies that participants are engaged in a task or setting as if it were in the real world.
