abstract: "<p>The bachelor thesis aimed to explore the effect that dynamically transparent ghost instructors can have on the learning and retention of skills in Virtual Reality environments. Ghost instructors are shown to the student as a semi-transparent ghost avatar superimposed on the student's avatar so that students may see and imitate the intended movement from a first-person perspective. The research contrasts the effect of statically transparent (constant transparency) ghost instructors with that of dynamically transparent (transparency depends on student performance) ghost instructors through a user study in which students were taught to trace a 3D curve in a virtual environment. The data collected was logged based on information about this virtual environment, such as student and ghost locations, the error between them, and the resulting ghost transparency. The data files consist of two parts: a partial-CSV header providing trial information, followed by CSV-formatted logs.</p>"
