“…Recent studies have looked at such asymmetrical structures (Chan and Minamizawa 2017;Clergeaud et al 2017;Yang et al 2018), and have shown improvements in social engagement, interest, and interaction among team members (Gugenheimer et al 2017;Serubugo et al 2018;Abadia et al 2018;Lee et al 2020). Through our work, we hope to more clearly compare the effects of symmetry on collaboration in VR.…”

Studies involving collaboration in groups are frequently carried out under symmetrical conditions, meaning that all team members have the same role at the same time. In Virtual Reality, symmetrical collaboration often seems attractive as it allows all participants to be included in the VR environment, but it is not clear whether this provides any benefits over asymmetric forms of collaboration, such as when some team members are in VR while others are working on laptops. We conducted a study to compare the conditions of symmetric configurations (both team members use VR) and asymmetric configurations (one member in VR, and the other uses a laptop) when two participants performed a creativity task together. We found that there were differences in participant behavior and the ideas generated. We conclude by proposing guidelines for future work in the area, particularly related to the use of Virtual Reality for creativity workshops.

“…Technical advances and reduced costs have led to a surge in headmounted display (HMD) based Virtual Reality (VR). While VR was initially confned to labs, there is now a widespread interest among developers to create content for the general public [33] and VR installations can take place in public spaces [44,61] such as pubs and bars, university lounges, ofces, trade shows, conferences, and museums [15,53]. However, due to VR's immersive nature, many public VR installations allow only the user wearing the HMD to beneft from the VR content, excluding everyone else in the public space not wearing an HMD [18].…”

Virtual Reality (VR) installations using head-mounted displays (HMD) are becoming increasingly popular in public spaces. However, VR's immersive nature engages only the HMD wearer and excludes everyone else in the public space, and there is little design knowledge of how to engage those not wearing an HMD. To address this, we draw from our experiences of having designed seven public VR installations to present a design space around the dimensions of "agency" and "interest" with four user engagement frames to articulate twelve diferent user roles. To guide designers to support all roles and to transition users between those roles, we complement the design space with a set of design tactics for public VR installations. We hope that these combined contributions will help designers engage more people with VR installations so that ultimately more people beneft from what VR has to ofer.
