“…Boletsis and McCallum also tested the usability of an augmented reality system using the System Usability Scale, as well as by utilizing user observations and remarks documented by open and semi-structured interviews [12]. In the latest literature, Liu et al developed an evaluation framework to evaluate the usability of VR interfaces [13], and Amano et al designed a testbed to test the usability and performance of such mobile apps in in-situ VR environment mobile apps [14].…”

Virtual reality (VR) is considered to be an emerging technology. This study compared the usability differences of VR travel software, such as Google Street View, VeeR VR, and Sites in VR, for mobile phones. In the pilot study, three post-graduate students and one interface expert were invited to participate in the designed experimental tasks to provide opinions on the first draft of the questionnaire. Next, thirty college students were recruited to join the formal experiment. After operating the VR interface, they were asked to fill out the questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview was conducted. The results are described as follows: (1) Intuitive operation is required to allow people to select objects smoothly; (2) the chosen object requires a feedback mode to inform the user that the object has been selected; (3) the speed of the feedback mode should be adjustable to fulfil the needs of most people; (4) the contrast of icon color needs to be improved to ensure the most efficient verification of the operations; and (5) a search button or reminder function can be added to aid first-time users.

“…In summary, previous works provided some initial evidence of the use of VR as a substitute technology for empirical evaluations and argued that using VR as an empirical research method can be particularly promising in situations where evaluations are challenging to conduct (e.g., in safety-critical, expensive scenarios [6,48,54,62,78]).…”

Figure 1: We propose the use of VR for in situ authentication evaluations in private and sensitive contexts. We investigated the impact of isolated authentications, where users authenticate in a lab environment (➊), and in situ authentications, where users' authentication precedes a primary task (➋), on a system's usability evaluation results. Our work highlights the importance of in situ authentication evaluations, demonstrates how the use of VR advances common authentication system evaluations, and enables researchers to research contexts that are close to impossible to study in the wild and challenging to replicate in the lab.

“…3) for all three authentication systems, authentication environments, and observation methods to contribute to high internal validity. To track users' smartphone in the virtual environment, we attached an HTC VIVE tracker to the back of a real smartphone, similar to Amano et al [7,Figure 5]. We then prepared 2D video recordings and non-immersive/immersive VR recordings for the actual user study (see Sect.…”

Figure 1: We explore the use of virtual reality (VR) for shoulder surfing research in the authentication research domain. We compare the impact of non-immersive/immersive VR observations on participants' observation performance and behaviour while shoulder surfing authentications. We demonstrate the strengths of VR-based shoulder surfing research by exploring three different authentication scenarios: (➊) automated teller machine (ATM), (➋) smartphone PIN, and (➌) smartphone pattern authentication.
