Center of Digital Education Technologies

The research was launched in 2021. It compares the effectiveness of tuition of complex communication skills in various educational formats and verifies the receiving data with the help of Muse neural interfaces. The research will involve more than 100 people who are St Petersburg State University students and young managers.

The objective is to create a tool to prepare students for project presentations and public speaking.

With the help of VR simulator, students enter the hall that consist of virtual listeners who react to the speakers’ speeches. Depending on the quality of the presentations, they get bored and look aside or listen carefully and nod in agreement. The simulation automatically evaluates the results and makes a report that includes visual contact with the audience, the quality and purity of the speech and the quantity of parasitic words.
