We present an immersive interview-training system that uses photorealistic, AI-driven metahuman avatars to simulate challenging interviewer behaviors. In a formative study, participants reported higher engagement and self-efficacy compared to non-immersive practice, while noting potential uncanny-valley effects. We outline design trade-offs between realism, responsiveness, and user comfort for coaching applications.
