Users Experience with VR System: Current State and Development Directions

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) system is at its maturity to practice within many fields of studies. It is already recognized internationally and it’s a reliable system to achieve user sense of presence and level of engagement among the users. However, the system still needs further advancement, as there are still numbers of concerns within the system itself that can demote user experience value. This paper attempted to classify the presented studies by researchers from articles sightings between years of 2007 to 2017 into three main components namely the technologies application platform, design of the application systems and construction of virtual environment (VE) for the application system. Then the review of design and development issues that concerns on users experience within the area of VE exploration and creation are also included. The filtration of selection papers is not discussed here, and in this review process, there is no empirical assessment. The objective of this paper is to point out and learn about the current state of VR and the issues faced in order to further promote the connection between user experiences with the system itself. Moreover, it is to level up the acceptance practices among users and continues publicizing the benefits of this complex system in various fields of use. Finally, with the review findings, this paper recommended VR trends for future research, design and development directions.
