Description
Summary:In the context of the Metaverse, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has achieved significant advancements, thereby stimulating a deeper exploration of VR user experience quality in the academic community. This study comprehensively reviewed the literature and research related to virtual reality technology and user experience evaluation, identifying three mainstream VR interaction tasks. Based on the perceptual features of user experience, a measuring procedure for user preferences regarding manipulation modes was designed. Data from 73 participants were collected and analyzed using a combination of user testing, and self-reports. The findings indicate that participants exhibit a strong preference for isomorphic manipulation modes that closely mimic real-world actions-such as direct picking and continuous turning ─ due to their enhanced realism, reliability, ease of comprehension, and comfort during interaction. These results underscore the importance of aligning virtual manipulations with intuitive, real-world behaviors to improve user satisfaction and engagement in VR environments. © 2024 IEEE.
