Virtual Environment for the Assistance in Learning of Odontology Gestures – EVAGO

The EVAGO project extends the Virteasy Virtual Environment (VE) dedicated to the Odontoloy training, with models and tools to automatically assess the whole technical gesture i.e. the motion of body parts involved in the manipulation of tools and treated objects, as well as the expected features of these objects. From the analysis of teacher practices and the observations needs, this project will compare spatial and temporal similarities between their demonstrated motions and those of the students, and will cluster these demonstrations according to a semi-supervised approach to define the acceptability values of the technical gestures. The EVAGO aims to improve the Virteasy instrumentation in a continuous analysis process of the instrumented practices, responding to the autonomy, skill and self-regulation needs, as well as the automatic detection of the features of the acceptable gestures.
