对公共展示的实地研究可能是困难的,昂贵的,耗时的。我们调查的可行性,使用虚拟现实(VR)作为一个测试平台,以评估公共显示器的部署。具体而言,我们调查是否从虚拟的领域研究,在虚拟的公共空间进行的结果,将匹配相应的现实世界的设置的结果。我们报告两个实证用户的研究,我们在虚拟世界中的虚拟公共显示器周围的观众行为,观众行为周围的真实的公共显示器。我们发现,虚拟领域的研究可以是一个强大的研究工具,因为在这两项研究中,我们观察到的设置之间的行为基本相似。我们讨论了使用虚拟现实进行实地研究的机会,挑战和局限性,并提供了从我们的工作中吸取的经验教训,可以帮助研究人员决定是否在他们的研究中使用VR以及如果这样做需要考虑哪些因素。
Field studies on public displays can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. We investigate the feasibility of using virtual reality (VR) as a test-bed to evaluate deployments of public displays. Specifically, we investigate whether results from virtual field studies, conducted in a virtual public space, would match the results from a corresponding real-world setting. We report on two empirical user studies where we compared audience behavior around a virtual public display in the virtual world to audience behavior around a real public display. We found that virtual field studies can be a powerful research tool, as in both studies we observed largely similar behavior between the settings. We discuss the opportunities, challenges, and limitations of using virtual reality to conduct field studies, and provide lessons learned from our work that can help researchers decide whether to employ VR in their research and what factors to account for if doing so.
