“…To prevent the back and forth between a desktop authoring tool and the evaluation of the result in VR, the training experience can be directly authored in the immersive environment. Eroglu et al [32] proposed an immersive road network authoring system, targeted at automated vehicle testing. As such, it focuses solely on the environment creation, allowing users to select and manipulate objects, design road networks, and define traffic direction, for example.…”

The use of virtual reality (VR) for industrial training helps minimize risks and costs by allowing more frequent and varied use of experiential learning activities, leading to active and improved learning. However, creating VR training experiences is costly and time-consuming, requiring software development experts. Additionally, current authoring tools lack integration with existing data and are desktop-oriented, which detach the pedagogic process of creating the immersive experience from experiencing it in a situated context. In this article, we present a novel interactive approach for immersive authoring of VR-based experiential training by the trainers themselves, from inside the virtual environment and without the support of development experts. The design includes identifying interactable elements, such as 3-D models, equipment, tools, settings, and environment. The trainer also specifies by demonstration the actions to be performed by trainees, as a virtual choreography. During course execution, trainees' activities are also registered as virtual choreographies and matched to those specified by the trainer. Thus, trainer and trainee are culturally situated within their area semantics and social discourse, rather than adopting concepts of the VR system for the learning content. We conducted a usability case study with professionals from an international wind energy company, using detailed models of wind turbines and real-world procedures. Trainers set up a training course using the immersive authoring tool, and trainees executed the course. The learning experience and usability were analyzed, and the training was certified by comparing real-world task completion between a user who had undergone virtual training and a user who did not.

“…Much in line with Q3, 41 studies did not report on any adaptations due to COVID-19 or state ethical approval. Where changes to methodologies were highlighted, they were again predominantly based on factors surrounding participants (N=8), and hygiene/ disinfection protocols (N=8), with another study waiting 72 hours between sessions to provide HMDs [18].…”

“…Where adaptations were reported they were predominantly in relation to the participants involved [63,67], the space used [52,62], equipment employed [52,61], the procedure (i.e. the distribution of testing sessions [60] and hygienic practices [18,33] over a specified period of time) and the type of study; whether it was adapted to meet health and safety guidelines in lab [41,60], or altered to be conducted remotely due to COVID-19 [20,64]. There were a few notable papers that researchers used to inform adaptations.…”

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, there has been a significant disturbance in human-to-human interaction that has changed the way we conduct user studies in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), especially for extended (augmented, mixed, and virtual) reality (XR). To uncover how XR research has adapted throughout the pandemic, this paper presents a review of user study methodology adaptations from a corpus of 951 papers. This corpus of papers covers CORE 2021 A* published conference submissions, from Q2 2020 through to Q1 2021 (IEEE ISMAR, ACM CHI, IEEE VR). The review highlights how methodologies were changed and reported; sparking discussions surrounding how methods should be conveyed and to what extent research should be contextualised, by drawing on external topical factors such as COVID-19, to maximise usefulness and perspective for future studies. We provide a set of initial guidelines based on our findings, posing key considerations for researchers when reporting on user studies during uncertain and unprecedented times.
