弥合代沟：探索虚拟现实如何支持祖父母和孙子孙女之间的远程通信
Bridging the Generational Gap: Exploring How Virtual Reality Supports Remote Communication Between Grandparents and Grandchildren
摘要：
当分开居住时，祖父母和孙辈经常使用视听通信方法来保持联系。然而，这些方法很少提供足够的陪伴和亲密，由于缺乏共存和空间互动，这可以通过沉浸式虚拟现实（VR）来实现。为了了解祖父母和孙辈如何利用VR来促进他们的远程通信，并更好地为未来的设计提供信息，我们对12对祖父母和孙辈进行了以用户为中心的参与式设计研究。结果表明，虚拟现实通过减少代沟提供了随意和平等的沟通，并通过提供共享活动作为连接的桥梁来促进对话。参与者更喜欢在化身上表现出令人愉快的外表，以传达幸福感，但创造理想的自我以获得乐趣。根据研究结果，我们贡献了八个设计启示，为未来基于VR的祖孙通信提供信息。
英文摘要：
When living apart, grandparents and grandchildren often use audio-visual communication approaches to stay connected. However, these approaches seldom provide sufficient companionship and intimacy due to a lack of co-presence and spatial interaction, which can be fulfilled by immersive virtual reality (VR). To understand how grandparents and grandchildren might leverage VR to facilitate their remote communication and better inform future design, we conducted a user-centered participatory design study with twelve pairs of grandparents and grandchildren. Results show that VR affords casual and equal communication by reducing the generational gap, and promotes conversation by offering shared activities as bridges for connection. Participants preferred resemblant appearances on avatars for conveying well-being but created ideal selves for gaining playfulness. Based on the results, we contribute eight design implications that inform future VR-based grandparent-grandchild communications.
