The strong point of training based on the use of VR is the high degree of interactivity that it is possible to obtain in a virtual environment. In fact, unlike the traditional methods based on classroom lessons that only allow a passive participation of the users to the training, VR al-lows the students both to visualize in a realistic way the contents of the lesson and to interact with the represented objects.
