Abstract: Nowadays, the use of robots has grown into a standard in industry. In this context, the interaction of humans and robots is intended to combine the relevant capabilities in order to achieve the highest possible efficiencies. This points to the need for an appropriate training to reduce fears and increase trust and acceptance. Virtual realities (VR) can be a helpful platform for such trainings. The aim of the study was to examine subjective impressions and suggestions for implementing a VR training in the industrial context. A simple interaction with an industrial robot, conducted in the three scenarios "reality", "virtual reality" and "hybrid reality", was used. The interviews revealed a large pool of information and concrete suggestions for the implementation of VR training. The information obtained provides a useful basis for designing different training scenarios.
