The virtual office trainer: a teaching tool for people with learning disabilities

In the past few years, the use of computer-generated interactive representations of real-life situations has become increasingly popular in fields as diverse as engineering, design, architecture, medicine and education. The immersive and interactive properties of virtual reality simulations are regularly used to supplement conventional training methods in such occupations as pilots, fire-fighters and soldiers, where real-life training is dangerous, expensive or difficult to monitor and control.
