Dynamic Notification Techniques for Detecting Bystanders in a VR Game

Contact: Marvin Wolf

If you would like to participate or have any questions, please contact Marvin Wolf or book your appointment directly through this link.

We want to evaluate how people experience techniques that alert them of bystanders and how their sense of safety and presence are affected. For the current stage of our study, we need participants with physical disability that could profit from additional Information that remove barriers, for example, by addressing a fear of collisions or the need to interact with care takers. Participants do not need to have any experience with VR but should be able to use a VR headset and handheld controllers.

Total effort: approx. 45 minutes.

Location: VR lab of the Human-Computer Interaction and Accessibility research group, room 217, InformatiKOM II, Adenauerring 10, 76131 Karlsruhe
