Call for Contribution for the workshop “VR [we are] training - Collaborative Virtual Training for Challenging Training Situations” on April 25, 2022, at the CHI 2022 conference
The AIT Center for Technology Experience, the University of Salzburg, Center for Human-Computer Interaction, Usecon, the Institute for Fire-Service and Rescue-Technology and the Empathic Computing Laboratory, University of South Australia are hosting this workshop.
About the workshop
Virtual reality provides great opportunities to simulate various environments and situations as reproducible and controllable training environments. Recently, we have seen considerable effort to use virtual training environments (VTEs) in many demanding training contexts, e.g. police training, medical first responder training, firefighter training, etc. The overarching goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines and backgrounds in order to jointly develop a research agenda on how currently underrepresented aspects of social and collaborative work can be integrated into VR training. In this one-day online workshop two themes around training in challenging environments will be discussed: (1) Multi-sensory experience: novel collaborative interfaces for VTEs and (2) Multi-user interaction: collaboration between trainers and trainees.
Two options of participation
Submit a position paper (max. 4 pages ACM format – without references) addressing one of the themes of the workshop
Submit a motivation statement (max. 4 pages ACM format) describing your reasons for joining the workshop and what you would contribute towards the workshop agenda.
