At the 14th Annual NACV  expert-conference (network academic communication skills), Renate Klaassen of 4TU.CEE TU Delft spoke about the added value of virtual reality systems in presentation techniques. The attendants were inspired by the results of our research and the lessons on what you should do to use VR effectively in Education. They were specifically interested in the feedback that machines may provide to upgrade presentation skills. One participant of Wageningen University, who also attended our VR on-boarding day last October, claimed to use the VR-presentation app âvirtualspeech.comâ as a voluntary means of practice in his course.Â
VR experiment
Currently, 4TU.CEE Delft is doing a rerun for the VR presentation skills experiment. This time with the Ocular Rift and a presentation technique programme of Brainstud. The same experiment will be carried out at University of Twente with whom Delft will compare data and experiences.
