“…Furthermore, Girardi and de Oliveira (2019) observed that the training of army artillery is often constrained by the high costs and the limited instruction area. They presented a Brazilian Army VR simulator where the instructor can train observers at a minimum cost and without space limitation.…”

This study aimed to discuss the research efforts in developing virtual reality (VR) technology for different training applications. To begin with, we describe how VR training experiences are typically created and delivered using the current software and hardware. We then discuss the challenges and solutions of applying VR training to different application domains, such as first responder training, medical training, military training, workforce training, and education. Furthermore, we discuss the common assessment tests and evaluation methods used to validate VR training effectiveness. We conclude the article by discussing possible future directions to leverage VR technology advances for developing novel training experiences.

“…Virtual reality (VR) has been used for a variety of purposes, from video games to army training [ 1 ] or medical education [ 2 ]. In the last decade, it has received increasing attention particularly in social psychology with a range of other applications (see [ 3 ] for a meta-analysis), such as prejudice reduction.…”

The use of virtual reality in studying prejudice and its reduction: A systematic review

This systematic review provides an up-to-date analysis of existing literature about Virtual Reality (VR) and prejudice. How has VR been used in studying intergroup attitudes, bias and prejudice, are VR interventions effective at reducing prejudice, and what methodological advantages and limitations does VR provide compared to traditional methods are the questions we aim to answer. The included studies had to use VR to create an interaction with one or more avatars belonging to an outgroup, and/or embodiment in an outgroup member; furthermore, they had to be quantitative and peer-reviewed. The review of the 64 included studies shows the potential of VR contact to improve intergroup relations. Nevertheless, the results suggest that under certain circumstances VR contact can increase prejudice as well. We discuss these results in relation to the intergroup perspective (i.e., minority or majority) and target minority groups used in the studies. An analysis of potential mediators and moderators is also carried out. We then identify and address the most pressing theoretical and methodological issues concerning VR as a method to reduce prejudice.

“…Therefore, organizing staff training in virtual reality (VR) seems interesting. There are many areas in which employees are trained using virtual reality: first responder training [2][3][4], medical training [5][6][7], military training [8,9], and transportation [10,11]. Another area of using VR in workforce training applies to many industries and various purposes.…”

In facility management, employees’ unique skills and high technical knowledge are necessary to operate buildings efficiently and safely. Employees acquiring professional skills requires the use of an effective training procedure. Traditional facility management training is often challenging because it requires using real devices in a work environment. It is only sometimes possible to stop these devices. Additionally, there is a risk of equipment damage or injury to employees. Therefore, organizing staff training in virtual reality (VR) seems interesting. Properly conducted training of employees in virtual reality allows for the reconstruction of identical test conditions for all participants, thanks to which high comparability of training results is achieved. In addition, virtual training allows for an in-depth analysis of each participant’s results. We can carefully analyze their movement, how they perform a task, and even their attention directed to critical elements. To be able to perform such an in-depth analysis, it was proposed to use eye-tracking technology in the VR glasses used during training and evaluation in the VR environment. Eye movement tracking allows for an accurate analysis of the focus of each participant on the critical elements of the devices in the decision-making process. It enables obtaining much more comprehensive information on the concentration and correctness of the employee’s actions. The result of the conducted research is the development of the concept of a VR environment for training and evaluating facility management staff using eye-tracking technology, enabling employees to improve and verify their qualifications in a very comfortable way without the need to access the existing infrastructure. The developed training procedure also allows the classification of training participants as fast and slow learners, which is very important for the employer, as it identifies employees who require additional training support. The developed approach was verified during the realization of selected training conducted with 100 employees working in facility management and was implemented as a commercially offered training service.
