I am working as a PhD. scholar in Virtual Reality and Intelligent Systems at University of Malakand, Pakistan. I have received my M. Phil in Virtual and Augmented Reality and BS degree in Computer Science from University of Malakand in 2016 and 2006. My research interest includes 3D interaction, virtual and augmented reality. Address: Peshawar, North-West Frontier, Pakistan

Recent research shows that providing direct aids to trainee's in a guided virtual training environment improves performance (reduce cognitive load) but at the same time reduces the active exploration and makes user dependent on these aids. This paper presents a new strategy to reduce the bad effects of the use of direct aids while taking the benefits of it. A Guided Virtual Reality Training System (GVRTS) is used for training the students of polytechnic colleges. The system uses fiducial markers to interact with the spatial environment. A comparison is made between the direct aids (color change of object and guiding arrow) and semantic multi-modal (audio/visual) aids plus direct aids. The system improves the learning capabilities of students while it doesn't harm their performance. The analysis shows that the average learning (active exploration) of students using direct aids is 30% which is increased to 80% by using the semantic with direct aids.

This paper presents a novel Virtual Reality Training System (VRTS) for the constraint based assembly of a 3phase step down transformer. The ARToolKit [1] markers are used for interaction with the VRTS. The system improves the technical skills of students in the real assembly environment. The analysis shows that the average success rate of untrained students is 35.7% while that of trained students increased to 81.5%.
