Overview

ABSTRACT

Woodworking and carpentry are high-risk occupations owing to the extensive use of stationary wood-cutting machinery. Accidents or injuries are critical. Use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) can help to secure motion skills and ensure safety of the worker. This article first presents VLE, with comparative examples and their application in motion skills learning. Specific requirements for wood-cutting machinery are developed, with presentation of our solution suite, developed in partnership with the French Vocational Institute (AFPA).

Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

 INTRODUCTION

Virtual Training Environments (VTEs) are now widely used both in research and for application solutions. They encompass a range of technologies (virtual reality, augmented reality, distance learning, collaborative systems) enabling the virtual representation of a working environment. The instrumentation of this environment enables learner behavior to be analyzed and evaluated in real time.

This concept was born in 1995 with the HUBBLE telescope intervention training tool. It quickly spread to training in other fields such as medicine , defense and industry .

Learner interaction with these virtual worlds and intelligent analysis of learner behavior are key to the effectiveness of a VLE. Recent research has focused on evaluating the benefits of these new tools
