5th Annual Workshop on 3D Content Creation for Simulated Training in eXtended Reality
(TrainingXR)
Date: Sunday, 17 March 2024
Overview
This workshop discusses and articulates research visions on using the latest extended reality (VR/AR/MR) technologies for education and training purposes, and on creating immersive 3D virtual content for delivering effective and personalized training experiences. This workshop will gather researchers and practitioners in a variety of computer disciplines related to XR training and content creation. This workshop will accept research papers on these topics. We will also invite renowned speakers from the research community and the industry to give talks related to XR-based training to inspire the field to further explore this promising direction.

Talk: From Aristotle’s knowledge framework to procedural and motor learning in XR
Abstract
Learning is the core aspect to any training. While many mediums can be used to learn. XR is unique in that is a platform designed to have first person experiences. It’s is precisely so because it can interface between the user’s perception and its reality. The idea of experiential knowledge as the key to achieve mastery on any training, dates back to aristotles propositional knowledge vs non-propositional knowledge. The know-how vs the theory knowledge.
In this talk we will explore theory and practice going through a literature review of key work ranging from procedural to motor learning tasks. Exploring also the interesting space of decoupled motions and multimodal stimuli we can create inside VR for the case of motor learning.
Bio
Dr. Mar Gonzalez-Franco is a neuroscientist and computer scientist at Google AR & VR, where she leads the BIRD team (Blended Interaction Research and Devices). She was priorly a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, EPIC (Extended Perception Interaction and Cognition) team. In her research, she fosters new forms of interaction that will revolutionize how humans use technologies. Her interest lies in spatial computing, new devices, avatars, and perception.
