Specifically, the individual's self-efficacy should ideally be slightly higher than the difficulty of a given task. A significant benefit of immersive virtual reality (IVR) is the potential to utilize measures of trainee behavior to continuously adapt the training content to the individual. However, a major challenge involves the identification of relevant measures that can be used to adapt training content in a way that increases training output. The current paper aims to inspire further research on adaptive IVR training by describing the design and development of a study on adaptive IVR training where the use of self-efficacy measures for adaptation marks a point of departure from prior literature. The design of the proposed study is informed by analyses of results from previous IVR studies.","PeriodicalId":412598,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces Abstracts and Workshops (VRW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130818671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding user acceptance and making them more receptive to new technologies can help businesses and researchers find better ways to design Human-Machine Interactions. The simulation experiment in an immersion environment can evaluate the user's acceptance of the design with low cost and high efficiency. Fur-ther, the evaluation methods of some existing studies are different, which creates obstacles to the reuse and reference of research results between different scholars. However, there are limited simulation data that can be used for such interactive evaluation, such as typical 3D environment data based on Virtual Reality devices. We design dataset, an ongoing 3D test dataset produced by Unity software, to be employed by different studies to evaluate interaction design for autonomous driving. The physical medium, composition, test participants, and procedure of the 3D environment data are described in this paper.","PeriodicalId":412598,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces Abstracts and Workshops (VRW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130818700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Pointer's motion is modified by our motion accentuation algorithm SocialMoves. Comparisons on the Pointer's motion are made be-tween SocialMoves, a system built around Final IK, and a ground truth capture.
