Abstract

Business travel leads to the consumption of large amounts of energy. Circuit World (CW), a Unity virtual environment, uses avatars and realistic simulations of electrical circuits to test the effectiveness of teaching complex engineering tasks without travel. To evaluate CW, a study compares how well participants learn to repair a circuit when trained face-to-face, via Zoom, and within CW wearing an HMD. After training and completion of a knowledge quiz, learners are given a circuit to repair by themselves using a non-immersive desktop version of CW. Participants repair it again two weeks later to test retention. Each study session involves three people: learner, trainer, and researcher. The learner and trainer control avatars and the researcher, invisible, observes over the learner’s shoulder. Collected data includes task performance logs from CW, knowledge quiz scores, and, based on video recordings, eye gaze tracking, behavioral coding, and measures of facial synchrony between trainer and learner.

电路世界:研究工程学习的多人VE

商务旅行会消耗大量的能源。电路世界(CW)是一个Unity虚拟环境，使用虚拟人物和真实的电路模拟来测试在不旅行的情况下教授复杂工程任务的有效性。为了评估连续训练，一项研究比较了参与者在面对面、通过Zoom和戴着HMD的连续训练中学习修复电路的情况。在培训和完成知识测试后，学习者将使用非沉浸式桌面版CW自行修复电路。两周后，参与者再次进行修复，以测试记忆力。每次学习有三个人参与:学习者、培训师和研究人员。学习者和训练者控制虚拟人物，而看不见的研究人员则站在学习者的肩膀上观察。收集的数据包括来自CW的任务表现日志、知识测验分数，以及基于视频记录的眼睛注视跟踪、行为编码和训练者和学习者之间面部同步的测量。
