Virtual Observations of Virtual Reality Simulations
In this podcast episode of The Digital Alchemists, we delve into Virtual Observation (VO), a software tool to study user behaviour in Virtual Reality. VO precisely records and reconstructs user positional, rotational, and low-level input data directly within the VR simulation, offering an unparalleled recreation of their experience. This innovative system enables both live remote observation and detailed after-action review. Researchers, developers, and educators gain unprecedented insight, identifying usability issues and assessing performance from any perspective, even via WebGL, helping to overcome limitations of traditional VR observation methods.
