Desarrollo de una Sala de Entrenamiento Virtual para Procesos de Litigación en Entornos Inmersivos

Abstract

Abstract: This research arises from an opportunity to innovate within the field of online or distance higher education due to the need for a specific resource to train law students. These students, lacking an understanding of how the "UTPL Multi-User 3D Campus" platform works, particularly the courtroom, can disrupt the flow of virtual practice sessions with professors and classmates. Therefore, the objective is to create a virtual training room within the UTPL virtual campus that simulates litigation processes to improve and modernize learning through the use of current technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. This room, built on Unity, will allow students to assume different roles within a judicial process and practice litigation in a more realistic and autonomous way, with the support of AI avatars. This research, focused on technological software development, aims to create and evaluate this extension of the existing virtual campus. It will be managed using the Sum methodology, allowing for iterative and flexible development. Effectiveness will be assessed using user experience (UX) metrics and performance in simulated legal environments.
