Ease of Use and Preferences Across Virtual Reality Displays

Head mounted displays have become popular, but it is uncertain whether the interactive quality of these systems is sufficient for educational and training applications. This work is a longitudinal study into a variety of VR systems, which examines interface restrictions, ease of use, and user preferences with an emphasis on educational settings. Four different systems were examined with a range of interaction elements. Certain interactions failed in some systems and users did not necessarily prefer the highest-end systems. Overlapping interaction elements were also discovered, which may direct future work in later interaction test suites.
