Game Engine Avatars

Introduction

Imito has developed an innovative 3D job interview simulation, leveraging VR technology and AI-driven avatars to provide students with realistic, immersive interview experiences

This initiative can enable students to practise interviews with AI avatars that simulate real-world job scenarios based on actual job descriptions, offering a cutting-edge approach to career preparation.

Simulation Workflow

The experience begins when a student selects a company from a virtual menu, which provides information on various organisations, their industries, and job positions available for interview simulations. Once a selection is made, the student enters a 3D-rendered interview room designed to match the branding and corporate atmosphere of the chosen company. The environment is immersive, featuring realistic office elements, adaptive lighting, and sound effects to enhance authenticity.

Within this space, an AI-driven avatar interviewer initiates the interview process, engaging with the student using natural language processing. The AI interviewer dynamically interacts with the student, asking role-specific questions based on the job description. It evaluates responses for clarity, confidence, and relevance, adjusting follow-up questions accordingly. Various interview styles, including behavioural, technical, and case study-based interviews, can be simulated to provide a comprehensive experience.

To enhance realism, the AI interviewer is fed job descriptions directly from uploaded text documents. These descriptions are analysed to extract key skills, qualifications, and responsibilities relevant to the role. The system then generates tailored interview questions, ensuring that students receive an experience that mirrors real-world job interviews. This approach allows for the integration of actual job postings into the simulation, making the exercise highly relevant to students’ career aspirations.

Feedback & Performance Analysis

Following the interview, the AI system provides real-time feedback based on the student’s responses. It assesses verbal communication, content relevance, and overall confidence, offering constructive suggestions for improvement. Additionally, students receive a detailed performance report summarising their strengths and areas for development. This iterative learning process enables students to refine their interview skills over multiple sessions, gaining confidence with each attempt.

Becoming an Unreal Engine authorized Training Centre

For students, this simulation provides hands-on interview experience, exposure to various industries, and improved confidence in job-seeking scenarios. The ability to interact with AI-driven avatars ensures that students can practise without the pressure of real-world consequences, allowing them to refine their communication and professionalism. Educators benefit from the ability to customise interview scenarios based on curriculum needs, track student performance, and integrate the simulation into career readiness programmes. Additionally, we have the ability to add up to four languages for each AI character, allowing for smooth conversation between the student and the avatar.

Benefits for Students & Educators

Upon completion of this project, Imito can assist your organisation in becoming an Unreal Engine Authorised Training Centre by leveraging the expertise gained in developing the immersive 3D job interview simulation.

Imito can provide guidance on curriculum development, ensuring that educators are proficient in Unreal Engine tools and methodologies. Additionally, Imito can facilitate partnerships with Epic Games, helping to meet the requirements for certification, including instructor qualifications, industry-standard training materials, and project-based learning frameworks.

By positioning your organisation as a leader in Unreal Engine training, you will ensure that students will gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge 3D development, further enhancing their career prospects.

By developing this AI-powered interview simulator, Imito provides students with essential job interview skills in a highly engaging and immersive VR environment. This solution enhances career preparation by bridging the gap between academic training and real-world employment opportunities. Through innovative technology, students gain a realistic and valuable understanding of the job market, equipping them with the confidence and skills needed to succeed.

A simulator specifically designed for your institution's goals can be delivered over a three-month period, including system development and dedicated training sessions for educators and students.

The aim is to create a dynamic and engaging learning experience, inspiring both students and teachers to integrate immersive technology into career readiness programmes. This initiative lays the foundation for a long-term strategy to refine and expand the system, ensuring continued impact and effectiveness in career education.
