The uSucceed project aims to support neurodiverse individuals in the STEM workforce by utilizing Virtual Reality (VR) to deliver a customized training curriculum in CyberSecurity. This short paper delves into the design and methodology implemented by the uSucceed learning system. Preliminary usability test evaluations by neurodiverse individuals (n = 8) reveal critical insights into user experience, particularly regarding cybersickness and the usability of the uSucceed VR learning system. Usability findings revealed positive feedback on the immersive environment but highlighted issues with task navigation and inconsistent responses from the AI-driven pedagogical agent. Cybersickness levels ranged from low to moderate, with dizziness and eyestrain being the most reported symptoms. These results serve as a framework for further refining of the curriculum and system design to enhance usability. As the project evolves, it is moving towards the enhancement phase of the learning system’s development, with a focus on further advancement of the context-driven AI pedagogical agent.
