In this paper, the results of a first study into the use of virtual reality for human factor studies and design of simple and complex models of control systems, components, and processes are described. The objective was to design a model in a virtual environment that would reflect more characteristics of the user's mental model of a system and fewer of the designer's. The technology of a CAVE™ virtual environment and the methodology of Neuro Linguistic Programming were employed in this study.
