E-bike Simulator - a virtual reality application that evaluates user interfaces in an urban traffic environment
(2021) MAMM01 20191Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology
- Abstract
- When developing a User Interface (UI), testing the design in a designated area
of use is of the utmost importance. However, Testing a UI for a bike in a traffic
environment can be both difficult and risky. This thesis aims to solve this
problem by developing a VR application in which UIs can be compared and
evaluated in a controlled environment. This was completed by following the
principals of a user centered design, resulting in a VR simulator of a bike ride
in a city environment. Users could hop on a stationed bike while using both
controllers to steer and accelerate to ride around in the city. Motion sickness
was reported to be an issue that needed solving. It proved to be an obstacle
that hindered some users even after... (More) - When developing a User Interface (UI), testing the design in a designated area
