A surgery simulator is computer technology developed to simulate surgical

procedures for the purpose of training medical professionals, without the need
of a patient, cadaveror animal. The concept goes back to the 1980s with video
games, but only in the 1990s with three-dimensional graphics and the 2000s
with the use of motion sensors for realistic movements (motion control) has the
technology been able to simulate the real situation. The most common type of
surgery taught through this method is laparoscopic surgery, although it has also
been used to do a trial run before other kinds of procedures.

A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the
environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It
includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they react to
applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and how the
aircraft reacts to external factors such as air density, turbulence, wind shear,
cloud, precipitation, etc. Flight simulation is used for a variety of reasons,
including flight training (mainly of pilots), the design and development of the
aircraft itself, and research into aircraft characteristics and control handling
qualities.

Driving simulators are used for entertainment as well as in training of driver's

education courses taught in educational institutions and private businesses. They
are also used for research purposes in the area of human factors and medical
research, to monitor driver behavior, performance, and attention and in the car
industry to design and evaluate new vehicles or new advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS).
