Virtual Intent User Experience Design Elements in VR / AR
Let’s Talk About Virtual Reality
In the beginning ➔ Poor response time to movement➔ Limited FOV➔ Low resolution➔ Causes motion sickness
Crossing the Rift➔ 60ms or better movement to display response➔ 90 - 110 or better FOV➔ Lightweight ( less than 500g )➔ Consumer price points
In 2016 there will be 5 consumer VR platforms on the market
Consumer VR Hardware 2016!!!!

Augmented Reality
Current Augmented Reality Uses➔ Image targets / simply gyroscope / predetermined context
➔ Limited applications➔ Often novelty based
Future Challenges
Early Days - Google Glass➔ Monoscopic➔ Limited FOV➔ No direct connection user environment➔ Really a just smart phone for your face
Early Days- Meta Pro➔ 3D graphics projected into the user's environment with 3D gesture support➔ Limited resolution 720p & FOV➔ Requires PC
Recent Attempt - HoloLens➔ Limited FOV➔ Expensive ➔ Still a dev kit and not suited for everyday use
Loads of potential but still a work in progress
Augmented Reality -- Virtual Reality
Context Presence
VR / AR Convergence
Design in Virtual Space
PresenceThe single most important thing in every VR experience
Closer items have more impact
Depth is a powerful tool
Users should need and want to look around in the world…They may not do it naturally
Designing above the fold in virtual space
Design for the user’s field of view
Design for the user’s field of view
Combine Proximity and FOV
Similar to designing a workspace in the real world
Elite dangerous really nails this➔ Content view separated by depth
➔ Contextual content on the near peripheral view➔ 3D and depth based design elements
User’s need a way to project their intentions
Plan for a range of input possibilities
So many options...
Gaze based interactions➔ Works on every device➔ Simple to implement➔ Sometimes causes unwanted interactions
Can be combined withTouch pad orGame Pad Input
Once again Elite Dangerous nails it
Gamepads obviously can be used For traditional game input as well
Pointer based interactions on devices withPosition tracked controls like the VIVE
Pointer based controls are often used to teleport to a point or interact with objects
Virtual Touch
Haptic Feedback
Mimic Physical interactions
Computers look for single conditions
Users explore what’s possible
Simplify gestures and interactionsThey need to be reliable
Only show what’s rightBe accurate but abstract
Tomato Presence!our focus become what we
interact with
Abstract representation of the user is even more important in
social experiences
Sound is also a critical part of the 3D virtual world
And don’t forget about lighting, mood and theatrics
What does not work in VR?
Avoid velocity not based in the real world
Don’t mess with the inner earWhen our senses dedicated to presence disagree the body responds by attempting to remove any potential toxins we me may have swallowed
My advice
Build, Test, Build, Test…..
