Our lab has completed research about VR training and have collected data about user performance, preference, and usability for VR applications.
Assessing Usability of a VR Tutorial
A VR tutorial was developed by Embry-Riddle's College of Aviation's XR Committee to introduce students to VR controls before becoming immersed in an aviation training scenario. This study investigated the usability of the tutorial by assessing learnability, effectiveness, and satisfaction. There were some improvements that needed to be made to the tutorial, but overall it preformed well in these three categories.
