Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are becoming a part of everyday life with the advance of other technologies such as computer vision systems, sensing technologies, graphics, mobile computing, etc. Their primary goal is to help users achieve their goals effectively and efficiently with satisfaction. This paper describes the trends of how user studies have been incorporated into AR and VR papers published in two major conferences over the past three years. In addition, this paper presents implications on what needs to be taken into account when planning a user study in the field of AR and VR research.
