Human-centered VR design: five essentials every engineer needs to know

摘要

When virtual reality (VR) is not pleasing to see and/or hear, users will remove their headsets or glasses. One main reason is that engineers don't consider all human aspects of the VR experience when developing VR systems and applications. This paper discusses possible solutions for engineers, that is, "five essentials" of human-centered VR design. The most important essential, engineers need to know the multimodal input and output systems involved in the design. The author presents the "most common VR example of multimodal input[:] head-gaze pointing combined with a button press." Simultaneous input reduces the time the user needs to select a visual object.
