Job-training Support System using Smartphone Virtual Reality

Employees who newly belong to part-time jobs or part-time workers often conduct training to learn business skills and knowledge. However, companies have to pay a lot of costs for the job-trainings, because it needs lecturers, long time and facilities for the training environment. This disadvantage becomes more conspicuous especially in workplaces and industries where people change frequently. Therefore, we propose a job-training support system using Virtual Reality (VR) with the purpose of improving training efficiency and cost reduction. The system uses a smartphone, VR goggles and AR markers to construct a virtual job-training environment, and can recognize actions of job-trainees. By the result of action recognition, the system can show an appropriate instruction of the job-training. Job-trainees can train alone by this system anytime, anywhere.
