Jens Herder, Nico Brettschneider, Jeroen de Mooij, and Bektur Ryskeldiev, Avatars for Co-located Collaborations in HMD-based Virtual Environments, IEEE VR 2019, 26th IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces, pp. 968-969, DOI=10.1109/VR.2019.8798132, Osaka, March, 2019.
Multi-user virtual reality is transforming towards a social activity that is no longer only used by remote users, but also in large-scale location-based experiences. Usage of realtime-tracked avatars in co-located business-oriented applications with a ”guide-user-scenario” is examined for user-related factors of Spatial Presence, Social Presence, User Experience and Task Load. A user study was conducted in order to compare both techniques of a realtime-tracked avatar and a non-visualised guide. Results reveal that the avatar-guide enhanced and stimulated communicative processes while facilitating interaction possibilities and creating a higher sense of mental immersion for users and engagement.
