Avaliação de usabilidade em sistemas de Realidade Virtual e Aumentada: principais métodos

Abstract

A variety of Virtual and Augmented Reality systems exist, ranging from simple systems using HMDs (Head-Mounted Displays), to sophisticated systems as the CAVEs (Cave Automatic Virtual Environments). However, there are not many studies concerned with their utility and usability evaluation. Yet this evaluation is crucial to their development according the users’ needs. This article presents a study concerning usability, its principles and paradigms, as well as evaluation methods adapted to Virtual and Augmented Reality systems.
