Abstract

With the advent of easily accessible VR technology, many new VR developers are creating their own experiences. In addition to experiences centered around gaming and entertainment, many of these new VR experiences are meant to improve the social good. However, not much is known about how new VR developers approach creating social good experiences. For example, how do new developers attempt to craft a narrative around their message in VR? To address these types of questions, we reflect on our experiences as facilitators for a VR course centered around social good experiences. The course gave students the opportunity to learn VR development, as well as real-world researchers and entrepreneurs a platform to get their VR ideas developed. We report here on our observations facilitating this group of mostly new VR developers and the trends we observed in the projects developed.
对新开发者开发的社交公益应用的观察
随着易于使用的VR技术的出现,许多新的VR开发者正在创造自己的体验。除了以游戏和娱乐为中心的体验外,许多新的VR体验都是为了改善社会公益。然而,对于新的VR开发者如何创造良好的社交体验,我们所知甚少。例如,新开发者如何尝试在VR中围绕他们的信息制作故事?为了解决这些类型的问题,我们反思了我们作为以社交良好体验为中心的VR课程主持人的经验。该课程为学生提供了学习VR开发的机会,也为现实世界的研究人员和企业家提供了一个开发VR想法的平台。我们在此报告我们对这群新VR开发者的观察,以及我们在开发项目中观察到的趋势。
