Abstract

Recent research efforts have reported findings on user Quality of Experience (QoE) of immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences. Truly immersive multimedia experiences also include multisensory components such as factional, tactile etc., in addition to audiovisual stimuli. In this context, this paper reports the results of a user QoE study of an olfaction-enhanced immersive VR environment. The results presented compare the user QoE between two groups (VR vs VR + Olfaction) and consider how the addition of olfaction affected user QoE levels (considering sense of enjoyment, immersion and discomfort). Self-reported measures via post-test questionnaire (10 questions) only revealed one statistically significant difference between the groups; in terms of how users felt with respect to their senses being stimulated. The presence of olfaction in the VR environment did not have a statistically significant effect in terms of user levels of enjoyment, immersion and discomfort.

嗅觉增强沉浸式虚拟现实环境的主观评价

最近的研究工作报道了沉浸式虚拟现实(VR)体验的用户体验质量(QoE)的发现。真正的沉浸式多媒体体验除了视听刺激外，还包括多感官成分，如派系、触觉等。在此背景下，本文报告了嗅觉增强沉浸式VR环境的用户QoE研究结果。所呈现的结果比较了两组用户的QoE (VR vs VR +嗅觉)，并考虑了添加嗅觉如何影响用户的QoE水平(考虑了享受感、沉浸感和不适感)。通过测试后问卷(10个问题)的自我报告测量仅显示组间有统计学显著差异;就用户对感官刺激的感受而言。在VR环境中，嗅觉的存在对用户的享受程度、沉浸感和不适程度没有统计学上的显著影响。
