Abstract
This paper discusses the development and evaluation of a virtual assembly training system for the first Saudi Arabian car prototype (Gazal-1) fender assembly. An evaluation study was conducted to compare 3 training scenarios: Traditional Engineering (TE), Computer Aided Design Environment (CADE), and immersive virtual reality (IVR). 15 students from King Saud University were randomly assigned to the different training conditions. After that, transfer of training to the actual assembly was evaluated. Performance measures used to assess transfer of training include time to complete task and number of frustration points during task. The results of the evaluation study suggest that the participants of IVR training condition performed better than the other two conditions. Therefore, virtual assembly simulation using virtual reality systems might be useful for training operators who will be conducting assembly operations.
