Summary
This project focuses on adapting our VR Healthcare Training Platform for Japanese use. We'll translate all application text and modify the speech-to-text and text-to-speech systems for Japanese. Our AI chat will also be adapted for more complex interactions. A key technical challenge will be adjusting 3D avatars' facial expressions to accurately mirror Japanese phonetics, improving immersion and learning efficacy.

Description (French)
Ce projet est axé sur l’adaptation de notre plateforme de formation à la santé par la RV pour une utilisation au Japon. Nous traduirons tous les textes de l’application et modifierons les systèmes de synthèse vocale pour le japonais. Notre module de dialogue en ligne sera également adapté à des interactions plus complexes. L’un des principaux défis techniques consistera à ajuster les expressions faciales des avatars 3D pour refléter avec précision la phonétique japonaise, afin d’améliorer l’immersion et l’efficacité de l’apprentissage.
