Efficient comparison of platform alternatives in interactive virtual reality applications

VR Development with InTml

“…A developer is a programmer that knows how to create novel filters and novel applications, or it could also be a support asset for a designer that requires to implement novel filter classes. We show here how we used this process from a designer's point of view for a family of applications described at Figueroa et al (2005), a matching test that shows three objects and three copies of such objects, to be executed in four VR hardware setups.…”

Applying a User-centered Approach to Interactive Visualisation Design

“…Very few studies are devoted to frameworks for design and evaluation of information visualisation techniques [2,25,38,90]. Such models can help to perform evaluations in a structured way.…”

“…Such models can help to perform evaluations in a structured way. For example, Figueroa et al [25] introduce a methodology for the design and exploration of interactive virtual reality (VR) visualisations. They evaluated performance and user preference with several design alternatives during the early stage of development of a VR application.…”

“…They evaluated performance and user preference with several design alternatives during the early stage of development of a VR application. Alternative interaction techniques were presented to users in order to choose a technique they prefer most [25].…”

“…Focus groups, combined with interviews and questionnaires, are also common techiques in evaluation practice. Figueroa et al [25] demonstrate the evaluation of interactive visualisations using the focus group method. The main purpose of using focus groups in this study [25] was to establish users' attitudes, feelings, beliefs, experiences, and reactions in a better way than with interviews or questionnaires.…”
