Basic Types of Fidelity (Stone 2007)
TASK FIDELITY the design of appropriate
sensory and behavioural features into the end
users task that support the delivery of the
desired learning effect.
CONTEXT FIDELITY (local, remote) the design of
appropriate background sensory and behavioural
detail (including avatar/agent styles and
behaviours) to compliment and not interfere
with the task being performed and the learning
outcomes.

Basic Types of Fidelity (Stone 2007)
INTERACTIVE FIDELITY the degree to which input
(control) and display technologies need to be
representative of real life human-system
interfaces and, where they do not, the careful
management of control-display mapping and
acknowledgement of human stereotypes.
Understanding the benefits/ limitations of
virtual vs. real control set-ups.
HYPO- and HYPER- FIDELITY the inclusion of
too little, too much or inappropriate sensory
and/ or behavioural detail (task, context and
interaction systems) leading to possible negative
effects on serious game/simulation performance
and on knowledge or skills transfer.
