Keywords: training, education, virtual reality, simulation, usability, immersion, feasibility

Abstract

This project aims to determine the technical, pedagogical, and economic feasibility of using a virtual reality system as part of the teaching-learning process of operation of the turret 40/50 installed in ASV vehicles. Their development contemplates creating a demo (using virtual reality), its validation, and the establishment of benefits derived from a possible implementation to train staff in the use of cavalry platforms, and technical and pedagogical feasibility on the analysis of similarity with a small sample was used. The results revealed that the Demo satisfies the primary conditions for its level of technological maturity (TRL 3) and demonstrate that it is possible to use new technologies for training on turret handling, allowing to identify timely opportunities for improvement for its implementation. The study includes information on the economic viability of the Demo, given the cost reduction compared to traditional training with actual equipment. At the pedagogical level, the literature analysis allows us to note the benefits of using simulation in teaching and learning pro- cesses in general. Additionally, the courses in which it is possible to use simulation as an initial teaching strategy to include current practices were identified when minimum competencies are available.
