Abstract
Operating hazardous machinery often requires comprehensive training, which can be costly, time-consuming, and lead to delays. To address these challenges, we introduce VR Trainee, a Virtual Reality-based tool designed for electrical substation workers. VR Trainee allows users to interact with objects in a safe, controlled environment, enhancing training effectiveness for new maintenance employees. Equipped with inertial sensors, it gathers data to provide real-time feedback related to users’ actions. Initial validation shows significant skill improvements, thanks to trial-and-error opportunities and clear instructions. Our work demonstrates VR’s potential to streamline learning and boost user motivation.
