Design and evaluation of a virtual reality training system for new underground rockbolters
"The need for development of better training techniques for underground rock bolters is signified by the fact that a large number of experienced miners (Baby Boomers) will be retiring soon. This means that there will be very little interface time between the new miners and the experienced miners, …

The Use of Virtual Reality Training Environments for Procedural Training in Fourth-Generation Airliners
<p>This study examined the effectiveness of using virtual reality training environments for procedural training in fourth-generation airliners. Its goal was to assess whether the training outcomes from a recurrent training course for FAA certificated Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) technicians, which …

Improvement of movement function using bespoke virtual reality based computer games
… out activities of daily living more effectively. Virtual rehabilitation is developing as a method for the training and assessment of movement function, with evidence suggesting games controlled by the periphery can lead to improvements in activities of daily living, but virtual rehabilitation on …

Mind the Skills Gap: A Conceptual Framework for Integrating Technology-mediated Learning in People-centric Production Systems
… unprepared workforce. However, traditional training approaches in isolation seem to fall short of addressing this manufacturing skills gap. The limited scalability of many in-person approaches and the variable effectiveness of traditional methods may be a reason for that. Technology-mediated …
