“…Support for collaboration is an essential feature in these systems in VR environments and has become an important topic in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) [4,5]. Collaboration in VR may increase the quality of shared presence, communication, and interactions among multidisciplinary teams distributed in several locations [6][7][8][9][10]. Although issues of information security have been raised for the use of the metaverse [11], these are out of the scope of the present paper.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) medical images are used for diagnosis and in surgical operation planning. Computer-assisted surgical simulations (CASS) are essential for complex surgical procedures that are often performed in an interdisciplinary manner. Traditionally, the participants study the designs on the same display. In 3D virtual reality (VR) environments, the planner is wearing a head-mounted display (HMD). The designs can be then examined in VR by other persons wearing HMDs, which is a practical use case for the medical metaverse. A multi-user VR environment was built for the planning of an orthognathic–surgical (correction of facial skeleton) operation. Four domain experts (oral and maxillofacial radiologists) experimented with the pilot system and found it useful. It enabled easier observation of the model and a better understanding of the structures. There was a voice connection and co-operation during the procedure was natural. The planning task is complex, leading to a certain level of complexity in the user interface.

“…XR technologies offer unlimited benefits in the industrial context via blurring the boundaries between what is real and what is virtual, thus extending the possibilities of traditional technology appliances and supporting industrial tasks. The cumulative evidence has proven the benefits of XR for industrial needs; XR has shown increased performance in facilitating collaboration and planning in construction projects [8][9][10][11] and immersive training of novice maintenance technicians [12], as well as the support of the whole product lifecycle in the manufacturing field [13][14][15]. Furthermore, the flexibility of XR to facilitate remote coordination and communication is even more pronounced during the pandemic [16,17].…”

(1) COVID-19 pandemic restrictions caused a dramatic shift in research activities, forcing the adoption of remote practices and methods. Despite the known benefits of remote testing, there is limited knowledge on how to prepare and conduct such studies in the industrial context where the target users are experts and company employees. (2) In this article, we detail how we organized VR user tests in five industrial cases during the pandemic, focusing on practicalities and procedures. We cover both on-site testing, including disinfecting and other safety protocols, as well as remote and hybrid setups where both remote and on-site participants were involved. Subject matter experts from eight countries were involved in a total of 22 tests. (3) We share insights for VR user test arrangements relevant to the pandemic, remote and hybrid setups, and an industrial context, among others. (4) Our work confirms that with careful planning it is possible to organize user tests remotely. There are also some limitations in remote user testing, such as reduced visibility and interaction with participants. Most importantly, we list practical recommendations for organizing hybrid user tests with safety and disinfecting procedures for on-site VR use.
