Abstract

Seamless transition between public dialogue and private talks is essential in everyday conversations. Social Virtual Reality (VR) has revolutionized interpersonal communication by creating a sense of closeness over distance through virtual avatars. However, existing social VR platforms are not successful in providing safety and supporting private conversations, thereby hindering self-disclosure and limiting the potential for meaningful experiences. We approach this problem by exploring the factors affecting private conversations in social VR applications, including the usability of different interaction methods and the awareness with respect to the virtual world. We conduct both expert interviews and a controlled experiment with a social VR prototype we realized. We then leverage the outcomes of the two studies to establish a design space that considers diverse dimensions (including privacy levels, social awareness, and modalities), laying the groundwork for more intuitive and meaningful experiences of private conversation in social VR.

他们真的听不见我们吗?社交虚拟现实中私人对话的设计空间。
在日常对话中,公共对话和私人对话之间的无缝转换是必不可少的。社交虚拟现实(VR)通过虚拟化身创造一种超越距离的亲近感,彻底改变了人与人之间的交流方式。然而,现有的社交VR平台在提供安全和支持私人对话方面并不成功,从而阻碍了自我披露,限制了有意义体验的潜力。我们通过探索社交VR应用中影响私人对话的因素来解决这个问题,包括不同交互方法的可用性和对虚拟世界的认识。我们用我们实现的社交VR原型进行了专家访谈和对照实验。然后,我们利用这两项研究的结果来建立一个考虑不同维度(包括隐私水平、社会意识和模式)的设计空间,为社交VR中更直观、更有意义的私人对话体验奠定基础。
