Multi-User Remote Avatar System for Immersive Training in Virtual Reality
FY 2020-21 · 2020-07-13
Summary
We create learning modules for immersive training in VR as well as a platform to distribute the lessons to trainees with interfaces for trainers and administrators. Natural-looking high-quality digital human avatars are critical to effective training in VR for both branching scenario creation as well as remote collaboration and teaching. The XR Content Authoring suite will allow us to significantly speed up content development time by a factor of 10x. The Multi-User Remote Avatar System will be a key component of that system to enable natural digital representation of human trainees, and trainers in a virtual environment. The avatar system will also be used in content creation for pre-recorded human acting in training scenario creation.

Description (French)
Nous créons des modules d'apprentissage pour la formation immersive en RV ainsi qu'une plateforme pour distribuer les leçons aux stagiaires avec des interfaces pour les formateurs et les administrateurs. Des avatars humains numériques de haute qualité et d'apparence naturelle sont essentiels à une formation efficace en RV, tant pour la création de scénarios de ramification que pour la collaboration et l'enseignement à distance. La suite XR Content Authoring nous permettra d'accélérer considérablement le temps de développement du contenu en le décuplant. Le système d'avatars à distance multi-utilisateurs sera un élément clé de ce système pour permettre une représentation numérique naturelle des stagiaires humains et des formateurs dans un environnement virtuel. Le système d'avatars sera également utilisé dans la création de contenu pour des mises en scène humaines préenregistrées dans le cadre de la création de scénarios de formation.
