“…A small number of examples of the use of virtual environments (using either VR or 2D displays) to support training for dealing with difcult or confrontational situations have been described, such as systems for law enforcement training [10,27], public transport employees [3], and doctors [33]. A key idea is that this type of training evokes an emotional response comparable to a real-life situation.…”

The use of virtual reality (VR) to simulate confrontational human behaviour has signifcant potential for use in training, where the recreation of uncomfortable feelings may help users to prepare for challenging real-life situations. In this paper we present a user study (n=68) in which participants experienced simulated confrontational behaviour performed by a virtual character either in immersive VR, or on a 2D display. Participants reported a higher elevation in anxiety in VR, which correlated positively with a perceived sense of physical space. Character believability was infuenced negatively by visual elements of the simulation, and positively by behavioural

“…The success of the implementation of anti-terrorist activities is a consequence of properly conducted training on each of these levels (Carlson, 2018). All these issues function in the minds of the instructors, however, undoubtedly the greatest attention is paid to perfect physical skills and the safe and effective use of firearms and means of direct coercion.…”

Purpose:The objective of this article was to present the analyzes of the needs of state security entities in the context of training, with particular emphasis on the analysis of technological possibilities of virtual reality laboratories in line with the paradigm of digital training technologies. Design/Methodology/Approach: Analysis of the well-known literature, the authors' experience of R&D and implementation in the area of security, requirements of state security entities and best practices in the field of digital training technologies were taken into account. Findings: The result of the work is a set of identified features required for training systems for state security entities, in particular for training anti-terrorist and counter-terrorist activities. Practical Implications: Virtual solutions will not replace training on real equipment, however, they enable repetitive training in conditions similar to real ones, reducing training costs and enabling instructors to constantly increase the level of training difficulty. Taking into account the deficiencies in the infrastructure of uniformed and military services and the prevailing trend to develop training facilities and improve the competences of officers and soldiers at every level.Originality/value: It can be concluded that the presented solutions will have a positive impact on the level of interdisciplinary training in the field of planning, preparation, implementation and consequences of actions taken.

“…As an example, a randomized double-blinded study found that VR-trained residents performed surgery almost 30% faster and six times less likely to make surgical errors than non-VR-trained residents (Seymour et al, 2002). Similarly, VR usage has been increasing in variety of education and training programs, such as environmental education (Markowitz, Laha, Perone, Pea, & Bailenson, 2018), science and engineering (Potkonjak et al, 2016), mindfulness training for increased decentring (Chandrasiri, Collett, Fassbender, & Foe, 2020), emergency respondents training (Carlson & Caporusso, 2019), virtual chemistry laboratory (Su & Cheng, 2019) and a systematic analysis of VR studies and their impact on learning outcomes in higher education (Radianti, Majchrzak, Fromm, & Wohlgenannt, 2020).…”

Purpose Virtual reality (VR) technologies have been gaining popularity in training and development in many fields to promote embodied training. However, its adoption in management has been slow and rigorous empirical research to understand its impact on learning and retention is scarce. Thus, this paper aims to examine the benefits of VR technologies for management training. Design/methodology/approach Through a longitudinal experiment comparing VR platforms and a traditional video platform, this study examines two as yet unexplored benefits of VR technologies vis-à-vis management training – the cognitive outcome and affective reaction of the training experience over time. Findings This study finds that, for cognitive outcomes, immediate gains are similar across video and VR platforms, but subsequent knowledge retention is significantly higher for VR platforms. In terms of affective reaction, VR platforms generate significantly more enjoyment, which carries over to two weeks later, and is partially associated with higher knowledge retention. Practical implications This study has implications for management and human resource trainers and system designers interested in integrating VR for training and development purposes. Originality/value This study makes a unique contribution by unpacking the long-term benefits of an embodied training system, as well as identify a possible link between cognitive outcomes and affective reaction.
