vIIS

Abstract

Training and assessment of a new worker is the most vital part of any vocational industry. The landscape of jobs and work is changing rapidly, thanks to the emerging new technology and the advancement of knowledge in the scientific fields. This technological and scientific revolution presents an opportunity in the creation of new industries and occupations, enhanced productivity and quality of work life, and the potential for more people to participate in the workforce. But these come at risk and disadvantage of an increased cost of training as well as lack of proper training in a few industries. In this paper, we propose to build a vIIS framework - A Vocational Interactive Immersive Storytelling system that uses storytelling in an Interactive virtual environment to train and assess a worker a new skill. The major advantage of this vIIS system is that it provides constant feedback in an engaging immersive virtual reality environment and has better memory retention and recall of the trained task. For assessment, we intend to collect data such as task completion time, accuracy, error rate, qualitative feedback and also measure transfer learning.
