Abstract

Interactive training method and system is provided for the selective presentation of audio and video training program information to learner-operators. The audio and video program information is transduced from recorded program media under the control of a program control unit. The program control unit includes a computer that is responsive to a control program record. The recorded audio and video program information and the control program define a lesson of a training program. Each lesson includes a plurality of lesson segments or units. The interactive training system includes a video transducing device for a first program record that includes video program information and accompanying audio information. The video transducing device is capable of single video frame display as a still frame. The system also includes an audio transducing device for a second program record that includes audio program information. The program control computer is also responsive to recorded program data to output computer generated text and/or graphic video display frames. Each learner-operator interfaces the system via a light pen entry device that provides video display frame position information. The program control computer provides a presentation of the lesson by selectively controlling a combination of addressable information segments from the first and second program records and the computer generated text and graphic recorded data in a predetermined display format as modified by multiple branching capabilities in response to learner-operator entry data information.
