Training with virtual reality
Abstract
Look at the utilisation of virtual reality for a diverse range of training programmes from bomb disposal training to pager assembly line training. Describes how VR software allows three‐dimensional computer‐generated information to be created in real time and discusses the five main components of a VR system. Outlines an experiment designed to assess whether operators would learn to operate laboratory equipment more successfully in a VR environment of in the real laboratory environment. Concludes that VR training achieves better results than real environment training, is more cost effective and does not tie‐up expensive factory equipment for training purposes.
