A Universal Framework For Systemizing the Evaluation of Immersive And Collaborative Performance

Abstract

The capacity to visually represent innovative product/service ideas and concepts as well as usage scenarios while anticipating the resulting User eXperience (UX) is extremely critical in order to ensure innovation success. Our previous empirical studies on low-cost Immersive Virtual Environments (IVE), and, more recently, on Immersive Collaborative Environments (ICE) have unveiled the great potential of 'close-to-real-life' immersion. It fulfills the necessary level of realism in order to engage and facilitate stakeholders' contribution to alternative solutions and usage scenarios. Therefore, this paper is intended to present our ICE framework that could be used in investigations of Immersive and Collaborative performances. * CCS CONCEPTS • General and reference → Evaluation • Human-centered computing → Virtual reality • Human-centered computing → Collaborative interaction • Human-centered computing → Mixed / augmented reality • Human-centered computing → Interaction design process and methods • Human-centered computing → User interface design

Investigating the Impact of Visual Representations during Ideation: Towards Immersive eXperience Design

“…The above-mentioned series of study takes place in the business sector of rooms furnishing within public, professional or private building spaces. These studies will reuse and extend our previous work on Immersive Virtual Environment (IVE) and Immersive Collaborative Environment (ICE) [3,4,5], including UX [6,7,8], Fuzzy Front-End (FFE) model [9,10] and IX [11].…”

ConVRgence (VRIC) Virtual Reality International Conference Proceedings

“…First, we searched in the Scopus database articles and conference papers from 2000 to 2020, using the title, abstract and keywords fields. The 20 years period was chosen because as analyzed from the (Dupont et al, 2018) research it was appeared that before 2000 there are few research works on the immersive experience assessment question. The search parameters are presented in Table 1, the search equation used the keywords: Immersive environment (or Virtual) and Biometrics (or Physiological).…”

“…This shows a high potential for the technology as a tool in diverse applications. However, research on co-creation process involving user experience supported by immersive environment still needs more development (Dupont et al, 2018). Indeed, if the Immersive Collaborative Environment (ICE) tree describes the properties of collaborative experience and immersive experience (Dupont et al, 2017), we need to better understand how users interact with those technologies.…”

Living lab as a support to trust for co-creation of value: application to the consumer energy market

“…A study conducted in 2018 on collaborative immersive environments (Dupont et al, 2018) provides interesting insights into the notion of trust and co-creation of value. Collaborative immersive environments include tools, methods, digital systems (from Web 2.0 to immersive devices), or even physical spaces that allow and facilitate the work of groups composed of eclectic people, distributed or not, in synchronous or asynchronous work (Recker et al, 2013;Tran, 2014;Bayrak, 2015;Dupont et al, 2018). The analysis, based on 23 scientific articles published since 2000 in international journals and one thesis, highlighted four recurring dimensions for Collaborative eXperience: (1) Sense Making; (2) Trust Building; (3) Shared Meanings; (4) Mutual Understanding.…”

“…This study also identified two properties by dimension, respectively: context understanding and relevance; interpersonal relationships and trust; knowledge sharing and knowledge creation; group dynamics and collective intelligence. Dupont et al (Dupont et al, 2018) reveals that two properties are not very well researched: trust and knowledge creation. The small number of studies on collaborative immersive environments that focus on these properties raises questions about the importance given to concepts that are at the heart of collaborative processes, which are by nature open and by nature part of a knowledge creation process, consubstantial with the innovation process.…”
