Standards Development

Scope

The new work item proposal illustrates information modeling and functions with standards that can be used for VR and AR based education and training systems. It provides guidelines for developing 3D virtual education and training systems based on standards.

The guidelines include concepts, information modelling architecture, standards based functional components, implementation components for virtual education and training and use cases for VR and AR based education and training system. This draft excludes device hardware technology for virtual education and training systems.

Purpose

Virtual education and training systems are based on the technologies of VR and AR with sensors. Although education and training areas are diverse, virtual education and training systems can have unique information modeling, as well as common functionalities.

Education and training has been integrated with digital information systems and the development of education and training information systems is increasing. It is presumed that application-dependent methods are being used since the areas of education are vast and simulating education and training with a unified procedure may not have been feasible. However, from the point of view of ICT integration and information modeling, virtual education and training systems can be developed based on a systematic design approach with standards.

In this work, a systematic standards-based design approach that can be used as a guideline for developing virtual education and training systems in various areas is provided.
