The document summarizes Project IVY, which aims to create a 3D virtual environment to support interpreter training. It discusses the requirements and technical aspects of the IVY Virtual Environment (IVY-VE) being developed, including using existing audio materials and scenarios like classrooms and meeting rooms. Early trials with interpreter students showed promise. Future work includes tighter integration with the virtual world and evaluating the research questions around how immersion impacts the user experience versus traditional training methods.
