“…In terms of usability evaluation methods, nine studies adopted Likert-scale surveys [32] [33] [37] [8] [17] [10] [40] [41] [12], three used SUS [35] [10] [12], four adopted other types of questionnaires like ASQ and NASA TLX [35] [37] [39] [41], three used qualitative retrospective interviews [36] [8] [10], two implemented other methods like the "thinkingaloud method" or measured the number of errors and time taken to complete the activity [38] [39], and only one didn't use any evaluation methods [34]. Table 2 shows how almost all of the authoring tools, using various methods of evaluation, presented similar conclusions, which are often described in terms of being intuitive.…”

Virtual reality experiences are frequently created using game engines, yet they are not simple for novices and unskilled professionals who don’t have programming and 3D modeling skills. Concurrently, there is a knowledge gap in software project design for intuitive virtual reality authoring tools, which were supposed to be easier to use. This work compiles design guidelines derived from a systematic literature review to contribute in the development of more intuitive virtual reality authoring tools. We searched the Scopus and Web of Science databases for works published between 2018 and 2021 and discovered 14 papers. We compiled 14 requirement and feature design guidelines, such as Visual Programming, Immersive Authoring, Reutilization, Sharing and Collaboration, Metaphors, and Movement Freedom, among others. The collected guidelines have the potential to either guide the development of new authoring tools or to evaluate the intuitiveness of existing tools. Furthermore, they can also support the development of the metaverse, since virtual content creation is one of its bases.
