Challenges faced in developing the VR Public Speaking Simulator

Technical difficulties: Developing a VR environment that accurately replicates a public speaking scenario was a major technical challenge. The team had to ensure that the VR experience was both realistic and immersive, while also providing real-time feedback to the user.

User experience: Designing an experience that was both challenging and supportive was critical. The team had to strike a balance between providing enough difficulty to challenge the user and making the experience accessible to people with a wide range of public speaking abilities.

VR hardware compatibility: Ensuring that the VR Public Speaking Simulator was compatible with a range of VR headsets was a challenge. The team had to take into account the different hardware specifications and software requirements of each headset, as well as ensuring that the experience was optimized for each device.

Realistic feedback: Providing realistic feedback was another challenge. The team had to design a feedback system that accurately reflected the user's performance and provided constructive criticism that was useful and actionable.

Virtual coach: Designing a virtual coach that was both helpful and engaging was a challenge. The team had to find a way to provide the user with useful tips and advice that would help them improve their public speaking skills, without being overly prescriptive or boring.
