Abstract
This paper discusses usability problems in immersive virtual reality environments that were identified during the development of a system used to train electricians to perform maintenance and emergency maneuvers in electric distribution substations. Differently from traditional desktop systems, in which graphical interface techniques and standards are already consolidated, immersive virtual reality environments present several new challenges for the creation of user interfaces. A case study was performed with 37 participants and the collected data is helping the development team to improve the system usability.
