This Ulysseus project aims to experiment with virtual reality technologies for the training and development of specific skills of students, trainees and apprentices who wish to undertake international mobility or who simply want to try out these experiences virtually.
A planned VR platform will host immersive virtual scenarios and other virtual activities, which will allow users to acquire skills to face new situations during a mobility period that may pose different challenges and obstacles. The purpose is to create a tool that helps the prospective exchange students deal with such situations.
The content for the platform is created based on a co-creative process, which explores the experiences of past and current exchange students, interns and trainees in depth.
The VR platform will be demonstrated at all partner universities at the end of the spring semester 2024–25.
