Public Speaking VR training
Stage speech VR simulator with full data logging and data visualization
About the project
For Mathias Corvinus College (MCC) we created a Virtual Reality training simulator that is truly unique in several respects. Using the application, which runs on HTC Vive, anyone preparing for an important stage presentation can practice it risk-free. They can get used to the stage, the many pairs of eyes fixed on them, holding the microphone, and so on. The major innovation of our solution is that, beyond allowing practice, after each run the application provides a detailed analysis of what the presenter did on stage: where they moved, how much they gestured, whether they held too many silences, how much they made eye contact with the audience, and so on. The data can be evaluated both in aggregate and over time, showing the content that was in the VR headset at that moment. When using the application, in addition to uploading the practicer's own presentation, numerous settings can be adjusted so that the simulation reproduces the real environment, delivery style, and intended equipment as accurately as possible. Accordingly, you can select the type of microphone (podium, headset, or handheld), the method of advancing slides, or whether a monitor is available or not. Our solution makes it possible to gain stage routine without the higher cost of making mistakes, while also allowing personal development or differences between participants to be supported with objective data.
