Abstract
In this study, we aimed at revealing the difference and diversity of users working in a virtual environment and the relation between individual characteristics, performance, and sense of embodiment (SoE). Therefore, we conducted two experiments including multiple design factors in the virtual environment and carefully observed the participants’ task performances. The participants were 20 students in the first experiment and 8 students in the second experiment. The task was to quickly hit the button on the desk in a virtual environment with a hand avatar. Thus, the participants hit the button setting on the real desk; therefore, they had to recognise the sense of depth and size in the virtual environment while performing the task. Task performance was measured by time, performance level, and SoE score proposed in our previous study. As a result, the relationship between the user’s physical or psychological characteristics and the task performance and the SoE are revealed. Although the number of participants and the relation among the design factors, user characteristics, and SoE is not sufficient, some clues for designing tasks and virtual environments are obtained.
