This paper evaluated the usability of two VR displays (head mounted display and a mobile phone VR holder) by using six metrics: ease of use, engagement, emotion, comprehension, enjoyment, and comfortableness. The paper also evaluated different focusing techniques for 360 videos and provided a recommendation for future work. A total of 20 participants (10 participants for each subject) participated in this study, and all of the participants were recruited from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The quantitative result was evaluated by the six metrics and the qualitative data from the interview responses were used to help interpret the results. The results showed there was no significant difference between two devices when it comes to watching 360 videos in general. However, there was significance in individual measurements like comprehension and enjoyment level, which were affected by tasks and devices.
