Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Virtual Reality Research
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Consumer-grade virtual environments (VEs) are increasingly available for human navigation studies.
  • High technical expertise in computer graphics and virtual reality hinders VE adoption by researchers.
  • Existing frameworks lack integrated performance feedback mechanisms for participants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce DeFINE (Delayed Feedback-based Immersive Navigation Environment), a user-friendly framework for creating and managing navigation tasks in VEs.
  • Highlight DeFINE's novel capability for providing in-experiment performance feedback.
  • Demonstrate DeFINE's usability for both researchers and participants.

Main Methods:

  • Developed DeFINE with intuitive graphical user interfaces and simple settings files for customizable VE creation.
  • Implemented a demonstration experiment where participants navigated to a hidden goal with differential speed/accuracy feedback.
  • Collected participant feedback on DeFINE's ease of use, workload, and cybersickness induction.

Main Results:

  • DeFINE facilitates the creation and administration of navigation tasks within customizable VEs.
  • The framework successfully provided differential performance feedback during navigation tasks.
  • Participants found DeFINE easy to use with manageable workload and low proneness to cybersickness.

Conclusions:

  • DeFINE significantly lowers the technical barrier for researchers to utilize VEs in navigation studies.
  • The framework's open-source nature and customizability enhance its accessibility and potential.
  • DeFINE empowers researchers to conduct more sophisticated navigation experiments with integrated feedback.
