Ge Publiken ett Perspektiv : En undersökning av möjligheterna och utmaningarna av att introducera självständiga publikkontrollerade kameror till en kollaborativ virtuell miljö (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

In the current field of cooperation in Mixed Reality there is, at the timeof writing, a clear lack of research regarding the cooperation between animmersed Virtual Reality user and a non-immersed audience. Therefore, theimpact of adding audience-controlled cameras to the two parties’ cooperationwas investigated. This was done through a user study where the participantswere cooperating as a Virtual Reality user and an audience to find hiddenobjects. The study was conducted with two prototypes. In the first prototype,the audience was only able to see a mirrored view of the immersed user. Inthe second, independent smartphone-controlled cameras were added to thedisposal of the audience. The results of the user study indicate that the secondprototype was overall less practical than the first in effectiveness, efficiencyand satisfaction. However, in certain scenarios where the number of objectswithin a scene made verbal communication inefficient, the second prototypeprevailed, indicating its potential in more visually complex scenes.

Abstract [sv]

I det nuvarande fältet av samarbete inom Mixed Reality finns det i skrivande stund en tydlig avsaknad av forskning angående samarbete mellan en fördjupad Virtual Reality-användare och en icke-fördjupad publik. Därför undersöktes effekten av att inkludera publikkontrollerade kameror i de två parternas samarbete. Det gjordes genom att utföra en användarstudie där de två parterna samarbetade som Virtual Reality-användare och publik för att hitta gömda objekt. Användarstudien genomfördes med två prototyper. I den första prototypen kunde publiken endast se en speglad bild av den fördjupade användarens synfält. Detta kompletterades av enskilda smartphonekontrollerade kameror avsedda för publiken i den andra prototypen. Användarstudiens resultat indikerar att den andra prototypen generellt presterade sämre än den första inom områdena effektivitet, verkan och tillfredsställelse. Dock, i vissa scenario när antalet objekt i en scen gjorde verbal kommunikation ineffektiv visade sig den andra prototypen vara bättre, vilket indikerar dess potential för mer visuellt komplexa scener.
