However, most P&T schemes use instantaneous transitions, which has been known to hinder spatial learning. While replacing instantaneous transitions with animated interpolations can address this issue, they may inadvertently induce cybersickness. To counter these deficiencies, we propose <em><strong>Traceable Teleportation (TTP)</strong></em>, an enhanced locomotion technique grounded in a theoretical framework that was designed to improve spatial learning. <em>TTP</em> incorporates two novel features: an <em>Undo-Redo</em> mechanism that facilitates rapid back-and-forth movements, and a <em>Visualized Path</em> that offers additional visual cues. We have conducted a user study via a set of spatial learning tests within a virtual labyrinth to assess the effect of these enhancements on the P&T technique. Our findings indicate that the <em>TTP Undo-Redo</em> design generally facilitates the learning of orientational spatial knowledge without incurring additional cybersickness or diminishing sense of presence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54955,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human-Computer Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142593503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of uppercase letters affects the meanings of words and their readability. By typing uppercase letters on a QWERTY keyboard, the layers can be switched using a modifier key. Considering that VE controllers are typically used in a VE, this input method can result in user fatigue and errors. Thus, this study proposed new alternative interactions for the modifier key input and compared their typing performance and user experience. In an experiment, 30 participants were instructed to type 10 sentences using different typing interaction methods (shift, long press, and double-tap) on a virtual keyboard in a VE. The typing speed, error rate, and number of backspace inputs were measured to compare typing performance. Upon the completion of the typing task, the usability, workload, and sickness associated with each typing method were evaluated. The results showed that the double-tap method exhibited significantly higher typing speed, error rate, ease of use, satisfaction, and workload. This result is consistent with those of previous studies demonstrating that selection tasks were more efficient with fewer hand movements. Thus, this study implies that the double-tap method can be considered as a potential typing interaction for the VEs instead of the traditional method using the shift as a modifier key. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute to the design and development of user-friendly interactions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54955,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human-Computer Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found hypothesis-compliant responses from participants, even when they did not experience the illusion.
