Training of Business Skills in Virtual Reality

Virtual reality is often used for gaming or for demonstrating the technology itself. However in the globalized world the development of compatible business skills are turning to be crucial. Starting a company requires dedicated skills and it often includes virtual collaboration with teammates or partners. The 3D immersive virtual reality is a field of this collaboration and also it can be a field of training these skills. This demonstration is showing a preview of a training setting designed and conducted in VirCA Virtual Collaboration Arena for the development of business skills. It includes real-time virtual collaboration, information processing, and building common understanding to make the frame of a future business plan with participants represented by avatars in a 3D space. In the further application of this task shared mental models can be studied in virtual reality and an applicable virtual training program can be developed.
