从一个世界到另一个世界：用于在虚拟环境中高效切换的界面
From One World to Another: Interfaces for Efficiently Transitioning Between Virtual Environments
AI总结：
本文研究了VR中高效切换虚拟世界的方法，通过对比WiMs和门户界面，发现WiMs在信息获取上更高效，而门户在预定向上更快速。
摘要：
个人电脑和手持设备提供键盘快捷键和滑动手势，以使用户能够高效地在应用程序之间切换，而当今的虚拟现实（VR）系统却没有。在本工作中，我们进行了一项探索性研究，探讨支持在VR中高效切换世界的人机界面方面的问题。我们创建了八个界面，这些界面允许预览和从可用的虚拟世界中选择，包括使用门户和微型世界（WiMs）的方法。为了评估这些方法，我们进行了一项受控的组内实证实验（N=22），参与者频繁在六个不同的环境中切换，以完成一个收集物品的任务。我们的定量和定性结果表明，WiMs在搜索时支持快速获取高层空间信息，并被参与者认为是最有效的，而门户则提供了快速的预定向。最后，我们提出了关于所探索的VR世界切换方法的应用性、可用性和有效性的见解，并为它们的应用和未来的情境/世界切换技术和界面提供了建议。
英文摘要：
Personal computers and handheld devices provide keyboard shortcuts and swipe gestures to enable users to efficiently switch between applications, whereas today's virtual reality (VR) systems do not. In this work, we present an exploratory study on user interface aspects to support efficient switching between worlds in VR. We created eight interfaces that afford previewing and selecting from the available virtual worlds, including methods using portals and worlds-in-miniature (WiMs). To evaluate these methods, we conducted a controlled within-subjects empirical experiment (N=22) where participants frequently transitioned between six different environments to complete an object collection task. Our quantitative and qualitative results show that WiMs supported rapid acquisition of high-level spatial information while searching and were deemed most efficient by participants while portals provided fast pre-orientation. Finally, we present insights into the applicability, usability, and effectiveness of the VR world switching methods we explored, and provide recommendations for their application and future context/world switching techniques and interfaces.
