On-equipment and practical sessions are indispensable part of construction equipment training. Currently, however, instructors receive very little to no technological support during these practical sessions, where they have to observe and provide feedback to multiple trainees concurrently. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop a virtual Feedback Support System that can support instructors/trainees in providing/receiving feedback. This system captures the performance of trainees, translates it into a virtual model, and automatically identifies points of attention for the instructors. Instructors and trainees can use this system to communicate in a more unambiguous and objective manner. A working prototype is developed and tested in a case study at a construction training school. The usability validation session with the end-users showed that the developed system has the potential to support both trainees and instructors during the practical on-equipment sessions. © 2022 The Authors
