SUMMARYThe UK Advanced Robotics Research Centre's VERDEX Project (Virtual Environment demote Driving Experiment) is an experimental test bed for investigating telepresence and virtual reality technologies in the design of human-system interfaces for telerobots. The achievements of the Project to date include the transformation of scanning laser rangefinder output to stereo virtual imagery (viewed using the VPL EyePhoneTM), the Teletact® Tactile Feedback Glove (for use with the VPL DataGloveTM), a high-speed, head-slaved stereo TV system, and a T800/i860 SuperVisionTM graphics/video parallel processing system.

One of the main problems with virtual reality as a learning tool for vocational education is that there are hardly any theories or models upon which to found and justify the application development. This paper presents a model of virtual reality systems for vocational education. The essential components of the model: real environments, vocational, virtual reality system, interfaces, students, instruction team, and technology team. Metaphor is the core of our model, and one of the main advantages of metaphors is their potential universality.
