Designing for human-VR interaction : how VR interaction can be designed to bring better design participation

Abstract

The research in human-computer interaction (HCI) has been ongoing for years until present-day to observe how humans interact with computers and digital technologies. Then comes the development of virtual reality (VR), one where it allows users to be immersed in the virtual environment for various kinds of experiences. This paper takes a close reference to the research method in HCI and brings the examination to the context of VR to understand the user behavior towards human-VR interaction (HVRI). A workshop is done based on the new HVRI method, and students are given the task to explore what are the elements of architecture that can be interacted and how they can be performed in the immersive environment. This paper will describe the HVRI designed and analyze how the new interaction method helps to bring about closer relationships between the human and the virtual model beyond just visualization.
