Bachelor's Thesis | University Bremen
Multiple different interaction schemes when dealing with 3D-objects in a virtual environment were evaluated with the goal of manipulating those objects to create and modify the environment.
Initial trigger for the thesis was the EU-project first.stage, which is a previsualisation tool.
Gesture-based interface
Relying mostly on menus
Use of the input device touchpad
A NUI (Natural User Interface) implementation
The four concepts were tested in two scenarios that compared different aspects of the interfaces and provided unique challenges. The study aimed to gain insights of participants’ interaction behaviour for the given scenarios and get feedback on each of the interfaces.
The study procedure included a pre-questionnaire, two separate runs with different interfaces, a questionnaire relating to each run including the NASA-TLX, the User Experience Questionnaire and the Presence Questionnaire and a final questionnaire including more qualitative questions.
User Test example outcomes following a specific rectricted task.
User Test with an open creative task.
In conclusion, it is suggested which interaction concept is best for which field of applications and an overall interface is proposed that implements all functionalities in the best way.
