远程VR研究--一种通过自主HMD远程运行虚拟现实研究的框架
Remote VR Studies -- A Framework for Running Virtual Reality Studies Remotely Via Participant-Owned HMDs
摘要：
我们调查远程运行虚拟现实（VR）研究的机遇和挑战。如今，许多消费者拥有盔装显示器（HMD），允许他们使用自己的设备在家中参与科学研究。研究人员可以从这种方法中受益，因为他们能够接触到更多样化的研究人群，并在难以让人们进入实验室的时候进行研究（参见新冠疫情）。我们首先进行了一项在线调查（N=227），评估了HMD用户的人口统计数据，他们的VR设置以及他们对远程参与的态度。然后，我们确定了运行远程研究的不同方法，并进行了两个案例研究，以深入了解。我们将我们的研究结果合成为远程VR研究的框架，讨论不同方法的优点和缺点，并得出最佳实践。我们的工作对于在实验室外进行VR研究的HCI研究人员很有价值。
英文摘要：
We investigate the opportunities and challenges of running virtual reality (VR) studies remotely. Today, many consumers own head-mounted displays (HMDs), allowing them to participate in scientific studies from their homes using their own equipment. Researchers can benefit from this approach by being able to reach a more diverse study population and to conduct research at times when it is difficult to get people into the lab (cf. the COVID pandemic). We first conducted an online survey (N=227), assessing HMD owners' demographics, their VR setups, and their attitudes towards remote participation. We then identified different approaches to running remote studies and conducted two case studies for an in-depth understanding. We synthesize our findings into a framework for remote VR studies, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches, and derive best practices. Our work is valuable for HCI researchers conducting VR studies outside labs.
