  Contemporary progress in the field of robotics, marked by improved efficiency
and stability, has paved the way for the global adoption of surgical robotic
systems (SRS). While these systems enhance surgeons' skills by offering a more
accurate and less invasive approach to operations, they come at a considerable
cost. Moreover, SRS components often involve heavy machinery, making the
training process challenging due to limited access to such equipment. In this
paper we introduce a cost-effective way to facilitate training for a simulator
of a SRS via a portable, device-agnostic, ultra realistic simulation with hand
tracking and feet tracking support. Error assessment is accessible in both
real-time and offline, which enables the monitoring and tracking of users'
performance. The VR application has been objectively evaluated by several
untrained testers showcasing significant reduction in error metrics as the
number of training sessions increases. This indicates that the proposed VR
application denoted as VR Isle Academy operates efficiently, improving the
robot - controlling skills of the testers in an intuitive and immersive way
towards reducing the learning curve at minimal cost.
