This paper describes the experimentation with the users of PlayVR, an educational experience focused on the world of theater and based on the use of virtual reality. The PlayVR project explores several dimensions of this domain, corresponding to different levels of cognitive and emotional involvement: from the simple tour through the locations of a well-known Italian theater to the possibility of exploring the different sceneries and to interact with the characters of a play. The two exploratory studies presented in this paper have been focused on engagement, embodiment and presence, which are fundamental for the definition of a VR experience targeted to the world of theater. The results of the studies gave experimental confirmation of what is available in literature, but gave also suggestions for the exploration of novel research issues. Overall, they were very useful for the future development of PlayVR, guiding the choice through the different design solutions and also the often contrasting technology options available for virtual reality.

We present the design and evaluation of a gesture-based interaction technique for text editing on mobile devices equipped with touchscreens. The technique includes both taps and gestures to be drawn on the top of the soft keyboard to perform the basic editing actions: moving the cursor, selecting text, and using the clipboard. The technique is compatible with gesture writing and is suitable for bi-manual text entry. We carried out a user study including several practical tasks to evaluate it. Results showed a gain in performance for small font with respect to the technique currently available on most mobile devices with Android OS.
