Lets teachers create virtual reality lessons easily.
Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) applications have shown immense potential for skill training and learning in manufacturing. However, authoring of such applications requires technical expertise, which makes it difficult for educators to author instructions targeted at desired learning outcomes. We present FlowTrainer, an LLM-assisted interactive system to allow educators to author lesson plans for their iVR instruction based on desired goals. The authoring workflow is supported by Backward design to align the planned lesson based on the desired outcomes. We implemented a welding use case and conducted a user study with welding experts to test the effectiveness of the system in authoring outcome-oriented lesson plans. The study results showed that the system allowed users to plan lesson plans based on desired outcomes while reducing the time and technical expertise required for the authoring process. We believe that such efforts can allow widespread adoption of iVR solutions in manufacturing training to meet the workforce demands in the industry.
