課程 3（共 5 門，Specialization Virtual Reality）

This course will teach you about one of the most important aspects of VR, how you interact with a VR world. Virtual Reality is completely different from an on screen app or game. You are completely immersed in a VR world, so it doesn't make sense to interact only through buttons or menus. You will get the most out of VR if you can interact with the world just as you would with the real world: with your natural body movements. You will learn about the basic concepts and technologies of VR Interaction. You will then get hands on, learning about how to move around in VR and how to interact with the objects in your world. The course will finish with some advice from experts on VR interaction design and you will do a project where you will get real experience of developing VR Interaction.

Challenges in VR interaction and User Interfaces in VR

Welcome to Week 4! In the final week of this MOOC, we'll be looking at challenges in VR interaction, and user interfaces in VR. You'll begin by learning about graphical user interfaces in VR, including abstract interfaces and diegetic and non-diegetic UI, before moving on to designing VR interaction.

Hello. I'd like to introduce Dr. Harry Brenton,

who is director of BespokeVR and an immersive user experience designer.

So Harry, the first question is,

what is immersive user experience design?

Well, Marco, on a basic level,

there are things like how you navigate around a VR environment,

how you display information using a heads-up displays,

whether you use an overlay,

whether you have information within the world.

And one of the main concerns certainly initially when

the Oculus Development Kit came out was not making

people feel sick because if people feel sick,

then you're not going to be able to progress further than just the feeling of discomfort.

So that's the foundation of what I'd say immersive user experience is.

But there's a whole load of really interesting stuff which is just emerging about.

I think you're quite familiar

previously in the course about the idea of VR as an illusion,

and to my mind,

a lot of immersive user experience design is understanding what

these illusions are and how as a designer you can strengthen them.

And what do you think the biggest thing that is different for UX,

for VR as opposed to other media?

One of the main things is that the control over

timing shifts from the director or the designer of a computer game to the user.

So because the user can choose where they want to look and

sometimes where they want to go, as a designer,

you have to give up that control and you have to find ways to design

games and experiences which except the fact that

the user is going to have more control than

on a computer game or in a video or traditional animation.

Have you got any ideas or tips for how to do that?

Well, one thing people have been doing is drawing

upon some of the lessons learnt from immersive theater.

So, dividing stories up into beats and saying it doesn't really

matter what people do between A and B as long as they get to B,

and thinking about the different beats that the story will hit,

and you found this in some of the work from Oculus Story Studio,

so there's a game called Henry.

And they discovered this idea of beats that as long as this happens over there,

it doesn't matter what happens in between.

So it's a a looser way of telling stories.

And you've also talked in the past about magic as

an interesting background to doing immersive UX.

Could you talk what we can learn about from magicians and the effects of magic?

Yeah, there's some great stuff done by Derren Brown did a theme I think at Thorpe Park,

and there's a big immersive VR experience called the Void.

And both of those are done by people with background in stage magic.

So they really understand how to sell

illusions and there's a phrase by one of

the founders of the Void called the path to conviction,

and that means how do you take someone from

normal reality and bring them into the world of the virtual reality,

because just putting a headset on,

people are often quite confused and they may look at the wrong thing,

it's quite a sharp cliff to jump off.

So, drawing people in to the world, that's, again,

something I think we can learn from magic,

and it's really about how to set an illusion.

Are there any particularly good examples of VR,

UX that you could point out learners to that they could go out and see now?

To me, the best single experience is something called the Lab on the Vive,

and it's a free collection of demos and it's really

two years of Valve experimenting

with different game mechanics and different ways of approaching it,

and there's some really lovely stuff in there.

My favorite demo within the Lab is a robot dog where you

throw a stick and the dog runs off and fetches the stick and brings it back to you,

and it's just an incredibly pleasing piece of interaction design

which is suited to the limitations of the controller.

So you can throw a stick with a Vive controller,

and the way they've done it is just to beautiful piece of interaction design.
