Epsilon Interactive Virtual User Manual (VUM)

Virtual Reality (VR) is an essential technology in today's internet world. VR is capable of delivering an exceptionally competent understanding of a topic, demonstrating a tool, or even conveying an idea through its incredibly realistic environment. Epsilon is a state of the art skin measurement instrument. Initially developed by London South Bank University research group as a research project. Epsilon has now been marketed and utilised in many organisations worldwide. Nevertheless, Epsilon requires thorough on-site training which is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, there is a real need for a Virtual User Manual (VUM) to train clients on how to operate Epsilon and demonstrate all its features and functionalities. This paper presents the development process of a web-based interactive 3D virtual user manual for the Epsilon medical device. The VUM is a step by step interactive 3D guide that will display to users, trainees and clients all of Epsilon's characteristics with the aid of audio and illustrative text. Additionally, it will direct them on how to operate this skin medical instrument efficiently. The interactive VUM will provide users with an extremely realistic ambience presented in 3D content employing The Internet as a delivery method.
