Summary

This study examines the efficacy of an interactive, extended reality (XR)-based virtual training environment-specifically utilizing 360-degree virtual reality (360-VR) interactive simulations-against conventional vocational experiential methods. The primary objective is to evaluate whether integrating synchronized visual scaffolding, which combines localized Saudi Sign Language (SSL) video loops with concise written text hotspots, can systematically enhance practical vocational competencies (such as housekeeping setup sequences and culinary safety) among deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students. Additionally, the trial investigates the longitudinal impact of this immersive media intervention on fostering professional self-efficacy and expanding overall employability.

BEHAVIORAL

Interactive 360-degree Virtual Reality Vocational Training

The virtual training is a behavioral intervention delivered via high-definition standalone VR head-mounted displays. It comprises an immersive 360-degree interactive environment capturing authentic premium hospitality venues (luxury suites and kitchens). The protocol spans 6 weeks, structured into two 20-minute individual learning sessions per week (12 sessions total). The system integrates specialized visual cues and interactive hotspots that launch customized, transparent windows combining clear text with synchronized Saudi Sign Language (SSL) interpreters to guide task steps and lower the student's visual cognitive load.
