Abstract
While usability engineering has been a topic of signiÞcant attention over the past several years in the graphical user interface community, it has yet to Þnd its place in the virtual environment (VE) community. Recent trends in VE research have shown that there is a growing chasm in VE development and evaluation methodology between what we refer to as the ÒhumancentricÓ (or user-centered) approach and the Òtechnology-centricÓ approach.
