Abstract

Virtual reality can be an effective tool for professional training, especially in the case of complex scenarios, which performed in reality may pose a high risk for the trainee. However, efficient use of VR in practical everyday training requires efficient and easy-to-use methods of designing complex interactive scenarios. In this paper, we propose a new method of creating virtual reality training scenarios, with the use of knowledge representation enabled by semantic web technologies. We have verified the method by implementing and demonstrating an easy-to-use desktop application for designing VR scenarios by domain experts.
