You are cordially invited to the IDG Seminar ...


PRESENTER: Dawei Jia

TITLE: Towards a Systematic Evaluation of Virtual Environments Efficacy for
Training

VENUE: University of Melbourne, IDEA LAB, level 4, 111 Barry Street,
Carlton

DATE and TIME: Friday 15th August  2008, 3-4 pm
 

ABSTRACT:
Virtual environment (VE) is a computer-generated, 3D spatial environment
that enables user to interact with it via multiple human sensorial channels
and during recent years VEs has become a promising tool for training and
education. Despite its adaptation for training and fast-paced technological
advancements, ways in which to evaluate efficacy of these technologies are
unclear. 
 
In this talk, I will present a framework for a user-centred evaluation of
efficacy in VEs for training and education, mainly focusing on the
associated evaluation tools, techniques as well as a study that has led to
the enhancement of this evaluation framework.

BIO:
Dawei Jia is a PhD candidate in the Intelligent System Research Lab at the
School of Engineering and IT, Deakin University. Her research interests are
virtual reality, human-virtual environment interaction, and evaluation
methodology.


Please forward to others if interested. All are Welcome.
