You need to test your product, but can’t do it in person. How can you use virtual reality?

First, we must design some probable scenarios for using the product and place them on the VR platform with minimum and maximum voltages, together with parameter monitoring, to see the behavior of this product!

Test, learn, get real time feedback and test it again with cheaper and fast development compared to real products of high fidelity prototypes to check: -> Usability, that indicates the ease of usage of certain applications/ products. In other words, how straightforward is it to learn how to use and navigate the experience or platform? Discover what are the motivations and pains solved in your test.

Also leverage VR to gather detailed user feedback and facilitating iterative design improvements. VR provides a unique opportunity to immerse users in your product, allowing them to interact with it in a more natural and intuitive way.

some ways to use virtual reality for product testing are: 1.Create a virtual environment: This can be done using 3D modeling software and can provide a realistic testing environment. 2.Use virtual prototypes: This can be done using CAD software and can allow for testing of the product's functionality and design. 3.Conduct user testing:This involves creating a virtual environment that simulates how the product will be used and observing how users interact with the product. 4.Gather feedback: This can be done through surveys or by observing how users interact with the product in the virtual environment. 5.Save time and money: This can save time and money by eliminating the need for physical prototypes and testing environment.

VR allows us to test products in situations where it would otherwise be too expensive or complicated to test the exact product in real life. This is similar to why Formula 1 teams use simulators; your driver can't just get in the car and practice with the same ease that a basketball player could pick up a ball and practice. It's incredibly expensive to drive the car, or fix it, or put strain on the parts that you want reserved for race day, and with the ever-changing nature of motorsport, testing in an old car doesn't have the same effect.

Consider using VR for simulating stress-testing scenarios that would be dangerous or costly to recreate in the real world. This approach allows you to subject your product to extreme conditions, such as high-pressure environments or emergency situations, to assess its performance and durability.

In some cases where there is a risk of accidents or danger, the VR test is certainly more interesting than a real test! In this cases a VR is more “real”.

Usability testing is a key aspect in building awesome products, but challenges are similar to the Non-VR prototypes (Manufactured Prototypes/ Softwares) 1. VR Test can allow speed for testing, not to collect more data from your target audience at many locations, be be aware that not all users are VR experts and some practice or guideline are required. 2. Often times the testers can feel uncomfortable, get “lost” or distracted and forget the tasks you asked them to complete - You will not be seen what user is doing, and engagement + interactive testing can be challenging if you are not together at user immersion. 3. You don't want to start on high-fidelity prototype, but don't be too low-fidelity, as VR testing already bring expectations.

Instead of focusing solely on ideal scenarios, create a range of simulations that incorporate variables like environmental factors, user behaviors, and equipment malfunctions.

Always consider your product’s purpose and what specifically you need to learn. Doing so makes it easier to decide on recruitment, set-up, and the testing methods to use To find out information from target audience during your testing, try to: - Ask participants to perform one task that should take no longer than five to ten minutes to accomplish, and pose them questions afterwards - Ask participants through the VR tool/ software and ask user to follow up with you how steps are performed.

Stay agile in choosing and implementing tools, focusing on those that offer quick iteration and feedback. Take advantage of collaboration and sharing experiences in VR. Leverage platforms and services that facilitate collaborative creation and real-time feedback, allowing you to benefit from the collective wisdom of a global community of developers and VR enthusiasts.

We can see countless examples of the use of VR not only for entertainment and fun, but in the machinery industry this is already a reality, in the aeronautical industry and in medicine! VR will increasingly be part of everyday life!

1. Architecture and Design – Fuzor VR allowing teams to virtually walk through buildings and visualize design concepts. This immersive experience enables architects and clients to make informed decisions and collaborate seamlessly, reducing errors and rework. 2. Manufacturing and Engineering – Microsoft HoloLens 2 & Siemens NX Remote teams collaborating to visualize, prototype and refine products, reducing time-to-market and fostering innovation. Today we are using it for co-creation with users and suppliers for our device manufacture and features/ softwares to be added to increase the UX of our products

I want to learn more and learn more about VR, which has been making huge advances, to have this tool in our companies! Safety!
