Analysis of the Feasibility of Immersive Virtualization in Technical Training

Abstract

Goal: propose a method of training in regulatory standards using immersive virtualization, aiming at improving student knowledge retention compared to traditional online models.
 
 Theoretical Reference: use of literature through research on similar methods already applied in immersive training, dissertations, articles and national standards.
 
 Method: practical application of training in an immersive environment in two large industries located in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, PR, where the evaluated ones completed an evaluation questionnaire according to their degree of satisfaction, which is the main parameter used in this work to prove the efficiency of the method.
 
 Results and conclusion: the practical application of immersive training, compilation of data and analysis of results confirm the viability proposed in the method. As the country develops technologically, the method will have its applicability increasingly accessible and proven.
 
 Research implications: a method of technological training developed as an alternative to the current molds, will certainly bring great contributions to the academy, and, at the same time, with the reduction of machine downtime, displacements, logistical costs and agglomerations, this work will bring contributions to the industry.
 
 Originality/Value: with the advent of the covid-19 pandemic experienced in recent times, traditional methods of professional training needed to be quickly adapted, aiming to minimize the impact caused by the restriction of physical contact between people. The proposed method provides the possibility of maintaining professional training processes, offering society the possibility of being trained effectively.
