Marta Beltrán · 2013
The application of simulation techniques in the military and security forces are numerous and in most cases their purpose is the training of staff. Virtual reality techniques have been incorporated to these simulators to enrich the trained professionals' experience. And with this kind of virtual training arises the need of designing avatars representing professionals in the virtual exercises. This work examines the effect of avatar gender on learning outcomes achieved with training simulators based on virtual reality.
