abstract = {Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) are becoming increasingly valuable in industrial applications, offering hands-free control in complex environments. However, developing and validating VUIs for such applications faces challenges, including limited access to physical prototypes and high testing costs. This paper presents a methodology that utilizes virtual reality (VR) prototypes to collect training data for large language model (LLM)-based VUIs, allowing early-stage voice control development before physical prototypes are accessible. Through an immersive Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) method, participants interact with a virtual reality representation of a machine, generating realistic, scenario-based conversational data. This combined WoZ and VR approach enables high-quality data collection and iterative model training, offering an effective solution that can be applied across various types of machine. Preliminary findings demonstrate the viability of VR in generating diverse and robust data sets that closely simulate real-world dialogs for voice interactions in industrial settings. © 2025 IEEE.},
