A simulator holopod was, essentially, a miniature self-contained holo-room. They came in two sizes: a smaller version that accommodated one individual and a larger version that could accommodate up to four individuals. They were used by Starfleet drill administrators to test starship crews by presenting them with individualized drill simulations based on the past experiences of other starships. Inside the pod, the subject would be cued to their progress by visual and vocal prompts; if they failed, they would be locked out of the program.
In 2381, Shari yn Yem oversaw the testing of the crew of the USS Cerritos using simulator holopods. However, she tampered with the programs so that the crew would fail. (LD: "I, Excretus")
