The Virtual Reality Questionnaire Watch: Exploring Novel Methods Integrated with Google Forms
Mokhamed Al Kassm · 2022
We developed a Questionnaire Toolkit (QT) that embeds Google Forms questionnaires into a virtual reality (VR) environment (in-VRQs).It provides a novel implementation of in-VRQs and helps lower the entry barrier to VR research by providing researchers with an experimental task setup to conduct studies.We evaluated the QT's self-reported presence, task load, and usability compared to Google Forms on a tablet.We found significant differences in task load measures' presence and physical demand subscale items.Participants preferred using the in-VRQs generated by the QT for their VR applications because it was impossible to use out-VRQs due to the equipment users wore.When asked about their sense of presence, they reported heightened presence returning to VR tasks when using the QT.We conducted walkthroughs to evaluate the QT deployment.The walkthrough results uncovered usability issues and showed that researchers could deploy the toolkit on their devices with the developer's help.
