| summary |
As immersive technologies, notably Virtual Reality (VR), gain traction in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sectors, there is an increasing emphasis on their application in education and industry. This article delves into the use of VR in these spatial disciplines and underscores the limited attention given to the User Experience and Interaction Design. The authors have developed and evaluated a VR interaction approach, comparing two methods: direct and indirect interaction. Direct interaction offers a real-world, intuitive approach, where users physically interact with virtual objects. In contrast, indirect interaction uses an intermediary interface for more precision in control, albeit with a slower response time. Utilizing an immersive framework for UX, the study aims to understand which method offers better user experience. Through an experiment the authors revealed that users with a design background found it easier to use the interface and interact within the VR setting. Interestingly, while direct interaction was initially thought to be more efficient, the indirect method's precision offered distinct advantages in specific design stages. This research accentuates the potential of tailored VR interaction methods depending on the design process stage and user background. |
