Title: Implementation of Virtual Reality in Education and Training
Author: Shuchisnigdha Deb
Location: Nedderman Hall Room 106
Date: Monday, November 11, 2019
Time: 1:15pm
Abstract: With increasing technology integration in human life, there is need for individuals to be trained in managing and using the technology. Virtual reality (VR) has been proven very effective for modeling high-risk environments and assuring safe human exposure to these virtual environments. The advantage of using a VR system is that it can realistically simulate scenarios that are difficult to generate in the real world. VR can provide high sense of realism, educate and train users with specific skills, and help users adapting behaviors and performances similar to those in the real-world activities. The immersive and episodic VR training, coupled with traditional training methods, increases cognitive recall, improves training outcomes, and allows users to obtain experiences which may not be possible without risks through any other formal experience.
