Abstract

A necessary component in the mass adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) is the creation of support tools to help creators develop and evaluate content. Emphasising the importance of User Experience (UX) in VR, analytics platforms are setup to understand participant’s behaviour, therefore helping for a better understanding of the medium. This paper reviews evaluation methods for VR concerned with observation of user behaviour, and how these are structured in analytics platforms. By surveying existing platforms, we look at how these platforms support the creation and evaluation of VR experiences and apply this knowledge to design a platform for the specific context of VR Storytelling.
