Immersive Presentations: Enabling Engaging Virtual Reality Based Training and Teaching by Merging Slide-Based and VR-Based Elements

  • Conference paper
Enabling Manufacturing Competitiveness and Economic Sustainability

Abstract

Training of the staff is a time consuming task. Today a lot of explanations are done at the built machine. Using Virtual Reality (VR) the staff could be trained at a virtual model. Presenting additional information like texts or diagrams besides the virtual model is essential for education purposes, but a time consuming process feasible only by experts. We are addressing this issue by presenting a concept to create Immersive Presentations and an App suite that enables the trainers to create VR based education scenarios augmented with additional information in an easy and comprehensible way on their own.
