About Cece Aplikasyon ng Pagsasanay sa Virtual Reality

Ang Cece ay isang virtual reality career mentor na idinisenyo para sa mga estudyante ng manufacturing. Pinagsasama ng Cece ang VR headset at mga interactive na interface upang masuri ng mga estudyante ang mga tungkulin sa industriya, maranasan ang mga kapaligiran sa lugar ng trabaho, at masanay sa mga kasanayang kaugnay ng trabaho. Isang artificial intelligence agent na pinapagana ng boses ang gumagabay sa mga gumagamit sa personalisadong onboarding, pagtuklas ng karera, at pagsasanay sa kasanayan. Sinusubaybayan ang progreso at nagbibigay ng feedback upang suportahan ang mga layunin sa pagkatuto. Layunin ng sistema na bawasan ang gastos sa pagsasanay at punan ang agwat sa pagitan ng akademikong pag-aaral at mga pangangailangan ng industriya.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Cece is an interactive VR career mentor designed for manufacturing students on campus, to holistically enhancing their education experience and help them explore industry roles, experience real workplace environments, and build job-ready skills at a low cost and accessible while bridging the gap between academic training and real industry requirements.
Dimensions & Packaging: Digital Product
Tags: VR, Immersive Learning, Skill Training, Career Advancing,Education Tech, Accessibility
Production Technology: This product combines a VR headset with interactive interfaces within a virtual environment to enable students to explore careers and develop job related skills.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part was designing the right balance between immersion and guidance. In a VR environment, it’s easy to create visually rich experiences, but without clear structure, users can feel lost. At the same time, adding too much guidance can break immersion and make the experience feel rigid. The challenge was to design a system where users could freely explore while still receiving the right level of support. This led us to introduce an AI agent that provides contextual guidance through natural conversation, instead of relying only on traditional UI elements.
Research: Desk Research
We analyzed policies, investments, and employment data in manufacturing. While industry investment is growing, student employment is declining—revealing a key gap.

Primary Research
We interviewed 20+ students, career advisors, and industry professionals in Seattle, gaining insights from both education and hiring perspectives.

Key Insights

Education–Industry Gap
Curriculum and equipment lag behind industry needs.
Experience Preference
Companies favor experienced candidates due to high training costs.
Lack of Career Clarity
Students lack understanding of real work environments, leading to job instability.
Inspiration: Our idea was inspired by our research, which revealed a significant gap between what students learn in school and the skills required in the real world. After brainstorming, we identified an opportunity in VR. Although the hype around VR has faded, its ability to simulate real-world environments in a cost-effective way still offers strong potential for improving education and training.
Project Duration: This project started in March 2024 and was completed in August 2024, based in Seattle.
Operation Flow: 1 Dual Interaction Modes
Combines VR controllers with a voice-driven AI agent for intuitive and natural interaction.
2 Personalized Onboarding
Users share background and goals with the AI to set up a tailored learning path.
3 Career Exploration & Guidance in VR
Recommends career paths and guides users through immersive scenarios with AI support.
4 VR Skill Training
Delivers hands-on training focused on practical, job-ready skills.
5 Progress Tracking & Feedback
Tracks progress and provides feedback to support growth and goal alignment.
