Abstract
Companies face the pressing challenge of bridging the skills gap caused by relentless technological progress and high worker turnover rates, necessitating continuous investment in up-skilling and re-skilling initiatives. Virtual reality is already used in training programs. However, despite its advantages, the authoring time for creating and customizing virtual environments often makes using this technology not completely convenient. The paper proposes an architecture that aims to facilitate the integration of artificial intelligence assistance into virtual reality training environments to improve user engagement and reduce authoring effort. The proposed architecture was tested in a study that compared a virtual training session with and without a digital assistant powered by artificial intelligence. Results indicate comparable levels of usability and perceived workload between the two conditions, with higher performance satisfaction in the assisted condition.
期刊介绍：
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) bridges the theory and practice of computer graphics, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, and HCI. From specific algorithms to full system implementations, CG&A offers a unique combination of peer-reviewed feature articles and informal departments. Theme issues guest edited by leading researchers in their fields track the latest developments and trends in computer-generated graphical content, while tutorials and surveys provide a broad overview of interesting and timely topics. Regular departments further explore the core areas of graphics as well as extend into topics such as usability, education, history, and opinion. Each issue, the story of our cover focuses on creative applications of the technology by an artist or designer. Published six times a year, CG&A is indispensable reading for people working at the leading edge of computer-generated graphics technology and its applications in everything from business to the arts.
