SMACITE Virtual Worlds - Immersive 3D Training Environments
As part of its innovative approach to skills development, the SMACITE project has developed a series of immersive Virtual Worlds designed to support training in soft, entrepreneurship, and green skills. These interactive 3D environments provide an engaging alternative to conventional e-learning, enabling real-time, experiential learning in simulated scenarios.
Developed using the Unity platform, the Virtual Worlds offer an advanced training experience that incorporates real-time voice interaction, dynamic avatars, and integrated access to session-specific materials.
The Virtual Worlds platform consists of two key components:
-
Back-End Management System: Accessible via http://vr-admin.smacite.eu, this web-based tool allows trainers to:
-
Organize and schedule training sessions
-
Manage participant access
-
Upload and distribute training content
-
-
Front-End 3D Environment: The learner-facing application provides access to the Virtual Worlds for live, synchronous training.
Training Environments
Three dedicated Virtual Worlds have been developed, each aligned with a specific skills area:
-
Soft Skills Training: Set in a virtual jungle environment, this world supports the development of interpersonal communication, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
-
Entrepreneurship Skills Training: Hosted in a modern urban setting, this environment is designed to facilitate entrepreneurial thinking, business planning, innovation, and technology integration.
-
Green Skills Training: Designed as a sustainable urban area featuring elements such as photovoltaic panels, this world focuses on circular economy practices, energy conservation, and sustainable development.
