Abstract

Users of specialized software packages (e.g., scientists and other specialists) do not always have the necessary resources and desire to adapt to complicated interfaces offered by the software packages they use. This human factor issue is particularly important within virtual reality contexts. The paper presents a study of user interaction with virtual reality, the phenomenon of presence, and its influence upon users’ performance at solving spatial transformation problems.
