Abstract
Immersive technologies are becoming increasingly important in the field of professional training. Among them, virtual reality is the one that presents one of the most interesting potentials because of its capacity to immerse learners in virtual situations and learning environments where the cognitive load, gestures and decision-making resemble those that should be made in practice. This modality becomes even more relevant when schools or centers do not have all the equipment at their training site. This is the case for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), which must train its technicians to maintain and repair equipment on ships at sea or stationed on the other side of the country. This article summarizes the pedagogical and technical design of virtual simulations for training RCN technicians. The authors discuss the factors favouring the integration of this technology and the strengths and limitations of virtual reality in this type of use based on a real-life use case.
