Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Playback in Public Speaking Training
Pages 462 - 466
Abstract
In this paper, factors with positive effects in the playback of virtual reality (VR) presentation in training are discussed. To date, the effectiveness of VR public speaking training in both anxiety reduction and skills improvement has been reported. Though the playback using videotape is an effective way in original public speaking training, very few researchers focused on the effectiveness and possibility of VR playback. In this research, A VR playback system for public speaking training is proposed, and a pilot experiment is carried out, so as to figure out the effects of the virtual agent, immersion and public speaking anxiety level in VR playback.
