<\/p>\nHow can you train your reactions to an angry, aggressive customer? How can you pick up on the speaker\u2019s indecision? How can you tell if your collaborator is anxious during his personal interview? Often in daily professional situations, it is hard to interpret and decode the emotions of the other speaker and this can have great consequences for a company: losing the sale, missing out on the perfect candidate for a job, causing conflicts among workers and so on. If you look at the \u201c7% – 38% – 55% rule\u201d (from a study by Professor Mehrabian, 1967) then you will realise just how fundamental non-verbal communication is. The rule states that:
\n– 7% of communication is verbal (via words)
\n– 38% of communication is vocal (intonation and sounds of the voice)
\n– 55% of communication is visual (facial expressions and body language)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Understanding the unspoken to get a better grasp of what is actually being communicated has never been so accessible thanks to VTS Editor authoring software\u2019s new customisable functional blocks for characters emotions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It allows you to define or modify the avatar\u2019s facial expression during a scene according to different emotions (happiness, anger, sadness, fear and indecision) and with several levels of intensity. Created with the help of cognitive psychologists, this new version of VTS Editor now enables the course designer and trainers to tackle the 55% of unspoken reactions during interpersonal situations developed in their training course.
\nThis emotion management block, combined with this new functionality where the course designer can define the looks that pass between the avatars in a scene, gives learners the opportunity to very finely tune their responses to behavioural reactions.<\/p>\n
