Examination of Effectiveness of a Performed Procedural Task Using Low-Cost Peripheral Devices in VR

The paper presents a Virtual Reality (VR) training system dedicated for interactive course focused on acquisition of competences in the field of manual procedural tasks. It was developed as a response for the growing market demand for low-cost VR systems supporting industrial training. A scenario for the implementation of an elementary manual operation (modified peg-in-hole task) was developed. The aim of the test was to show whether the prepared solution (along with peripheral devices) can be an effective tool for training the activities performed at the production site. The procedural task was performed by specific test groups using various peripheral devices. The paper presents preliminary results of tests regarding evaluation of effectiveness of virtual training, depending on specific peripheral devices used.
