讲故事已经被证明是一种有效沟通和协助知识传授的方法。近年来，利用虚拟现实(VR)等先进技术来改善培训和学习领域的兴趣越来越大。然而，讲故事和虚拟现实之间存在差距，目前还不清楚如何将它们结合起来，形成一个有效的系统，既保持VR技术提供的参与度和沉浸感，又提供讲故事的核心优势。在本文中，我们介绍了一个职业沉浸式讲故事系统VIS，它在讲故事和虚拟现实之间架起了一座桥梁。VIS专注于职业培训，通过使用嵌入虚拟制造工厂工作场所的创造性虚构故事，培训用户如何使用机械测微器。为进行评价，对30名参与者进行了分两个阶段的用户研究，以衡量该系统在长期培训中的有效性和改进，并对照传统的培训方法--2D视频和文本手册--审查用户体验。结果表明，在VIS和基于2D视频的技术下，用户在7天后保留训练的能力几乎相同，并且显著高于基于文本的技术。
Storytelling has been established as a proven method to effectively communicate and assist in knowledge transfer. In recent years, there has been growing interest in improving the training and learning domain by using advanced technology such as Virtual Reality (VR). However, a gap exists between storytelling and VR, and it is as yet unclear how they can be combined to form an effective system that not only maintains the level of engagement and immersion provided by VR technology but also provides the core strengths of storytelling. In this paper, we present vIS, a Vocational Immersive Storytelling system, which bridges the gap between storytelling and VR. vIS focuses on vocational training, in which users are trained on how to use a mechanical micrometer by employing a creative fictional story embedded inside a virtual manufacturing plant's workplace. For the evaluation, a two-phase user study with 30 participants was conducted to measure the system's effectiveness and improvements in long-term training, as well as to examine user experience against traditional methods of training-2D videos and textual manuals. The results indicate that the user's ability to retain their training after seven days was nearly equal for vIS and the 2D video-based technique and was considerably higher than the text-based technique.
