Final Year Project

Project Title

Public Speaking Training in Virtual Reality

Description

Most of us, including those at the top, struggle with public speaking anxiety, which can range from slight nervousness to paralyzing fear and panic. Our proposed solution is a virtual reality application for public speaking training that will simulate a room and audience. Users can practice their speech in this application, and the quality of their speech will be judged based on three different scores: speech (evaluating the content and delivery style of the speaker), body posture (evaluating the speaker's physical posture throughout the speech), and nervousness (evaluating the speaker's heart rate throughout the speech).
