Although generic usability heuristics lists have been popular with researchers and practitioners, emerging new technologies have called for more specific heuristics. One of these heuristics was proposed by Sutcliffe and Gault in 2004 [37]. This paper examines research which has cited these heuristics with the aim to see how it has been exploited. The results showed that a fifth of the papers citing the heuristics have used the heuristics fully or partly, and that researchers have adapted it to their current needs. Following this result we proposed that a patchwork of heuristics might be more useful than a single list. We evaluated a crisis management training simulator using the virtual reality heuristics and discussed how the outcome of the evaluation fitted the patchwork.

“…Since haptic technology is still expensive, a recent trend in the VR domain is to use low-cost technologies when possible, typically developed for the entertainment market. Belluco et al (2010) describes an application for dual-hand assembly simulation in VR that makes use of a Haption Virtuose haptic device with one hand and the Nintendo Wiimote controller with the other hand. Even if the Wiimote controller is not able to reproduce forces, vibrations can be used to render contacts and collisions with the various components of the virtual system.…”

The paper describes an application based on Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies specifically developed to support maintenance operations of industrial products. Two scenarios have been proposed. In the first an operator learns how to perform a maintenance operation in a multimodal Virtual Reality environment that mixes a traditional instruction manual with the simulation, based on visual and haptic technologies, of the maintenance training task. In the second scenario, a skilled user operating in a multimodal Virtual Reality environment can remotely train another operator who sees the instructions about how the operations should be correctly performed, which are superimposed onto the real product. The paper presents the development of the application as well as its testing with users. Furthermore limits and potentialities of the use of Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies for training operators for product maintenance are discussed.

“…Haptic force-feedback augments visual and audio feedback to provide physical feedback indicating the interaction between grasped objects and the environment [1,2]. However, the limited physical workspace of ground-based haptic devices reduces the utility of these devices in large virtual environments.…”

Haptic force-feedback can provide useful cues to users of virtual environments. Bodybased haptic devices are portable but the more commonly used ground-based devices have workspaces that are limited by their physical grounding to a single base position and their operation as purely position-control devices. The "bubble technique" has recently been presented as one method of expanding a user's haptic workspace. The bubble technique is a hybrid position-rate control system in which a volume, or "bubble," is defined entirely within the physical workspace of the haptic device. When the device's end effector is within this bubble, interaction is through position control. When the end effector moves outside this volume, an elastic restoring force is rendered, and a rate is applied that moves the virtual accessible workspace. Publications have described the use of the bubble technique for point-based touching tasks. However, when this technique is applied to simulations where the user is grasping virtual objects with part-to-part collision detection, unforeseen interaction problems surface. Methods of addressing these challenges are introduced, along with discussion of their implementation and an informal investigation.
