A Systematic Review of a Virtual Reality System from the Perspective of User Experience

摘要

ABSTRACT Virtual reality (VR) is receiving attention enough to be considered as its revival age in both industrial and academic field. Since VR systems have various types of interaction with users and new types of interaction are constantly being developed, various studies investigating user experience (UX) of VR systems are continuously needed. However, there is still a lack of research on the taxonomy that can recognize the main characteristics of VR system at a glance by reflecting the influencing factors of UX. Therefore, we collected and reviewed the research related to the UX evaluation of the VR system in order to identify the current research status and to suggest future research direction. To achieve this, a systematic review was conducted on UX studies for VR, and taxonomies of VR system including influencing factors of UX were proposed. A total of 393 unique articles were collected, and 65 articles were selected to be reviewed via Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology. The selected articles were analyzed according to predefined taxonomies. As a result, current status of research can be identified base on the proposed taxonomies. Besides, issues related to VR devices and technology, and research method for future research directions can be suggested.
