Abstract—Many service industries focus on reception (hospitality) and improving customer satisfaction by understanding customer needs and making good impressions. This kind of customer service is learned over a long period by manuals, role-playing, and on-the-job training. However, due to various limitations, e.g., time, it is difficult to repeatedly practice responding to different situations. Thus, in this paper, we propose a scenario-based virtual reality customer service training system that employs multimodal recognition of trainees. The proposed system measures bow and stoop degrees from skeletal posture information extracted using an RGB-D camera. Then, the proposed system provides feedback, i.e., visual aids and comments, to the trainee. We also investigate how multiple training sessions can change a trainee’s customer service skills.
