Towards SocialVR: Evaluating a Novel Technology for Watching Videos Together
摘要：
社交VR使人们能够与其他人实时进行远距离互动。它允许远程人员（通常表示为化身）在加入共享虚拟环境中进行通信和执行活动，扩展了Facebook和Netflix等传统社交平台的功能。本文探讨了一个轻量级和低成本的社交VR平台（SocialVR）提供的优点和缺点，其中用户被几个摄像头捕获并实时重建。特别是，本文贡献了（1）社交VR体验实验协议的设计和评估;（2）这种新型媒体体验的生产工作流程报告;以及（3）最终用户（N=15对）和专业人士（N=25）的实验结果，以评估SocialVR平台的潜力。问卷调查和半结构化访谈的结果显示，最终用户对SocialVR平台提供的体验给予了积极评价，这使他们能够轻松地感知情绪和沟通。最终用户认为SocialVR的照片般逼真的体验类似于面对面的场景，并赞赏这种新的创造性媒体。从商业角度来看，专业人士证实了这种通信媒介的潜力，并鼓励进一步研究该平台在商业领域的应用
英文摘要：
Social VR enables people to interact over distance with others in real-time. It allows remote people, typically represented as avatars, to communicate and perform activities together in a join shared virtual environment, extending the capabilities of traditional social platforms like Facebook and Netflix. This paper explores the benefits and drawbacks provided by a lightweight and low-cost Social VR platform (SocialVR), in which users are captured by several cameras and reconstructed in real-time. In particular, the paper contributes with (1) the design and evaluation of an experimental protocol for Social VR experiences; (2) the report of a production workflow for this new type of media experiences; and (3) the results of experiments with both end-users (N=15 pairs) and professionals (N=25) to evaluate the potential of the SocialVR platform. Results from the questionnaires and semi-structured interviews show that end-users rated positively towards the experiences provided by the SocialVR platform, which enabled them to sense emotions and communicate effortlessly. End-users perceived the photo-realistic experience of SocialVR similar to face-to-face scenarios and appreciated this new creative medium. From a commercial perspective, professionals confirmed the potential of this communication medium and encourage further research for the adoption of the platform in the commercial landscape
