How can you fully inform participants of VR interaction design research risks and benefits?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful tool for interaction design research, allowing you to create immersive and realistic scenarios for your participants. However, VR also poses some unique ethical and practical challenges, such as potential side effects, privacy issues, and informed consent. How can you fully inform participants of VR interaction design research risks and benefits? Here are some tips to help you design and conduct ethical and effective VR studies.

1 Understand the risks

Before you invite participants to your VR study, you need to identify and assess the possible risks they may face. VR can cause physical and psychological discomfort, such as nausea, dizziness, eye strain, fatigue, anxiety, or fear. Some participants may also have pre-existing conditions or sensitivities that make them more vulnerable to VR side effects. You should also consider the risks of data collection and storage, such as how you will protect the participants' personal information and biometric data, and how you will handle any sensitive or confidential data.

é de extrema importancia alertar o usuário sobre a possibilidade de cinetose (enjoo por movimento) e pedir para que avise ou retire o equipamento em sinal de desconforto. Além disso, é necessário saber se a pessoa está em completo controle de seus sentidos, se por um acaso estiver sobre efeito de bebidas alcolicas ou de remédios com efeitos colaterais que inibem ou alterem os sentidos. Outro ponto em levar em considera??o é o espa?o utilizado, evitar ao máximo objetos e móveis na sala de VR, caso n?o seja possivel,adicionar no limite da interface do visor. Além disso é necessário avisar ao usuário como funciona o sistema de limite de locomo??o, a menos que isso fa?a parte do seu estudo.

Fully informing participants of VR interaction design research risks and benefits requires transparency and clarity. Begin by outlining the potential benefits, such as contributing to the advancement of VR technology and enhancing user experiences. However, it's essential to also discuss potential risks, including motion sickness, discomfort, and potential psychological effects. Provide detailed information about safety measures in place, such as breaks and monitoring. Encourage participants to ask questions and express concerns, ensuring they understand the implications of their involvement. Additionally, obtain informed consent, emphasizing the voluntary nature of participation and the right to withdraw at any time.

2 Explain the benefits

As well as informing participants of the risks, you should also explain the benefits of your VR study. What is the purpose and value of your research? How will it contribute to the advancement of knowledge or practice in interaction design? How will it benefit the participants themselves or the society at large? You should also highlight any incentives or rewards you offer to the participants, such as monetary compensation, vouchers, or certificates. Make sure that the benefits are proportional and appropriate to the level of risk and effort involved in your study.

3 Obtain informed consent

One of the most important aspects of ethical VR research is obtaining informed consent from your participants. Informed consent means that the participants understand and agree to the risks and benefits of your study, and that they have the right to withdraw at any time without any penalty. You should provide a clear and detailed consent form that covers all the relevant information, such as the aim, duration, procedure, and expected outcomes of your study, the potential risks and benefits, the data collection and storage methods, and the contact details of the researchers. You should also give the participants enough time to read and sign the consent form, and answer any questions they may have.

4 Prepare the environment

Another way to inform and reassure your participants is to prepare the environment where you will conduct your VR study. You should choose a comfortable and safe location, where you can control the noise, lighting, and temperature levels, and where you can minimize any distractions or interruptions. You should also provide the participants with the necessary equipment and instructions, such as how to wear and adjust the VR headset, how to use the controllers or trackers, and how to navigate and interact with the VR environment. You should also test and troubleshoot your VR system before the study, to avoid any technical glitches or errors.

O mais importante é ter um espa?o com o mínimo de objetos e móveis possiveis, delimitar a área de locomo??o pelo sistema do visor, e informar o participar sobre como essa delimitador funciona. Outro ponto para se considerar é o uso de cabos na área de intera??o, caso o seu uso for necessário. A sala precisa estar iluminada para que o sensores da maioria dos sensores funcione corretamente. N?o utilize o visor em ambientes externos, pois os raios solares podem danificar o visor, uma vez que as lentes podem focar esses raios. Um local com poucos ruidos ajudam na intera??o Além de o usuário ter maior possibilidade de ouvir o instrutor em caso de alguma urgência. Um local arejado, com baixa temperatura ajudam no conforto.

5 Monitor and debrief

During your VR study, you should monitor your participants' reactions and behaviors, and check for any signs of discomfort or distress. You should also communicate with them regularly, and remind them that they can stop or pause the study at any time. You should also provide them with feedback and support, and acknowledge their efforts and contributions. After your VR study, you should debrief your participants, and explain the results and implications of your research. You should also ask them for their feedback and opinions, and address any concerns or questions they may have. You should also thank them for their participation, and provide them with any follow-up information or resources they may need.

Um dos pontos mais dificieis é acompanhar o participante, pois qualquer estimulo fora do ambiente virtual pode contaminar o estudo, pedir para que o usuário sempre pense em voz alta antes de iniciar o teste é fundamental e inteferir o mínimo possível, apenas para pedir que fale mais, que evite de bater em algum obstáculo ou caso o pesquisador perceber algum desconforto por parte do usuário.
