Often generating training instructions for virtual environments is a long and tedious process. In this paper, we discuss the development of a virtual environment (VE) instruction generating tool called Virtual Author which is the main component of the Virtual Training Studio (VTS). VTS is a virtual environment-based training system that provides instructors with a tool to create training instru...

One challenge in spoken language recognition is the availability of training data. In this paper, we propose a virtual example construction method to derive artificial training examples from the existing training data. Using the proposed method, both target virtual examples and non-target virtual examples can be derived from the available training samples. An iterative virtual example selection...

background playing video games in childhood may help achieve advanced laparoscopic skills later in life. the virtual operating room will soon become a reality, as “doctor games 2.0” will doubtlessly begin to incorporate virtual laparoscopic techniques. objectives to teach surgical skills to schoolchildren in order to attract them to urology as a professional choice later in life. materials and ...

Rapid developments of medical field, expanding knowledge bases and new technologies require continuing medical education to achieve life long learning and to keep physicians up-to-date. Consequently, specific training is necessary to guarantee qualification of medical experts. Virtual Reality has the potential to build up a safe training environment overcoming current drawbacks of traditional t...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of virtual reality proficiency-based training on actual cataract surgery performance. The secondary purpose of the study was to define which surgeons benefit from virtual reality training. DESIGN Multicenter masked clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS Eighteen cataract surgeons with different levels of experience. METHODS Cataract surgical training on a virtual r...

This paper develops a conceptual model of a knowledge management system that could be used to develop and implement organizational training strategies for virtual teams. An action research-based case is presented to support and illustrate the contention that action-learning methods can be effectively used to enable and tap into the knowledge generated by virtual teams. Virtual teams are an incr...
