Virtual reality (VR) offers a more ecologically valid approach to user experience (UX) evaluation. This VR-based methodology enhances user research and human-product interaction assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Virtual Reality Applications
  • User Experience Research

Background:

  • Traditional user experience (UX) evaluation often occurs in controlled laboratory settings, which may lack ecological validity.
  • User experience is a complex outcome of user-product-context interactions, necessitating more realistic assessment environments.
  • Virtual reality (VR) enables the creation of immersive, realistic virtual environments while maintaining experimental control.

Discussion:

  • This article explores the limitations of current UX evaluation methods and how VR technology can address them.
  • The potential of VR equipment in enhancing UX studies, including its applications and drawbacks, is examined.
  • A VR-based framework for UX evaluation is proposed, highlighting its relevance for future research.
