论文摘要
公开演讲是每个人的职业或学术生涯中的重要技能。然而，磨练这项技能通常很棘手，因为在镜子前的训练不会给人反馈或激发与观众面前相同的焦虑。此外，大多数人并不总是能够进入演示文稿的地方。在这项研究中，我们开发了一个虚拟现实（VR）环境，以帮助提高人们的演示技巧。我们的系统使用3D扫描的人员来创建更现实的场景。我们对没有VR没有经验的十二名参与者进行了研究。我们通过分析它是否优先于没有VR系统来验证虚拟环境，而无论虚拟受众的存在如何。我们的结果表明，用户压倒性地更喜欢使用VR系统作为一种工具来帮助他们提高公开演讲技巧，而不是在空旷的环境中培训。但是，对观众的偏爱是混合的。
Public speaking is an essential skill in everyone's professional or academic career. Nevertheless, honing this skill is often tricky because training in front of a mirror does not give feedback or inspire the same anxiety as present-ing in front of an audience. Further, most people do not always have access to the place where the presentation will happen. In this research, we developed a Virtual Reality (VR) environment to assist in improving people's presentation skills. Our system uses 3D scanned people to create more realistic scenarios. We conducted a study with twelve participants who had no prior experience with VR. We validated our virtual environment by analyzing whether it was preferred to no VR system and accepted regardless of the existence of a virtual audience. Our results show that users overwhelmingly prefer to use the VR system as a tool to help them improve their public speaking skills than training in an empty environment. However, the preference for an audience is mixed.
