Abstract

Court interpreting is vital for justice, yet traditional training methods often lack hands-on engagement and rely on uninspiring trial-and-error techniques. To address this, we developed MetaCourt, an immersive virtual environment for court interpreting education. Through participatory design, we created a system evaluated by 21 undergraduate interpreting students using the PENS model based on self-determination theory. Preliminary results showed high autonomy, intuitive controls, and presence, with improved fluency in VR compared to traditional methods. Surveys (NASA-TLX, IPQ) indicated reduced mental workload and strong usability. This study pioneers integrating VR with PENS for court interpreting, offering significant advantages in training effectiveness.
