Algorithm for automatic analysis and evaluation of communication skills of participants in VR public speaking exercises

Summary/Abstract: This research develops and validates an algorithm for automated analysis of communication skills in public speaking within a Virtual Reality (VR) environment, addressing limitations in traditional training methods. The study introduces an algorithm to analyze comprehensive data, including speech patterns, non-verbal cues, and tailored feedback, particularly for users with disabilities. The method involves multiple steps: processing input data, analyzing gestures, spatial movements, voice tone and timbre, and speech rate. The algorithm was tested against expert evaluations using a dataset of 20 VR public speaking recordings. This VR-based approach provides an immersive, adaptive training environment, crucial for high-stakes fields such as emergency services, where effective communication can impact outcomes in lifethreatening situations.
