Abstract:
A study was conducted to assess the user experience (UX) of interactions designed for a job-related VR application. 20 participants performed 5 tasks in the virtual environment, using interactions such as “touching”, “grabbing”, and “selecting”. UX parameters were assessed through PrEmo, SSQ (Simulator Sickness Questionnaire) and SUS (System Usability Scale) methods. Overall, participants ended their sessions demonstrating positive feelings about the application and their performance, in addition to reporting that they had a positive user experience. Nevertheless, some issues related to ease of learning and satisfaction were identified. 2 tasks in particular proved difficult for participants to complete. While various data-gathering methods were used, the present work only focused on analysing the results from the questionnaire tools and the post-tasks questions. Future work will focus on analysing the data gathered from these other methods, as well as on using the results from this
work to improve the application for future uses.
