Designing an Assistance Tool for Analyzing and Modeling Trainer Activity in Professional Training Through Simulation

Human audience analysis is crucial in numerous domains to understand people’s behavior based on their knowledge and environment. In this paper we focus on simulation-based training which has become a popular teaching approach that requires a trainer able to manage a lot of data at the same time. We present tools that are currently being developed to help trainers from two different fields: training for practical teaching gestures and training in civil defense. In this sense, three technological blocks are built to collect and analyze data about trainers’ and learners’ gestures, gaze, speech and movements. The paper also discusses the future work planned for this project, including the integration of the framework into the Noldus system and its use in civil security training. Overall, the article highlights the potential of technology to improve simulationbased training and provides a roadmap for future development.
