论文摘要
欧洲大型物流Lander(EL3)旨在执行货物交付任务,以支持未来的月球地面工作人员。虚拟现实(VR)可视化和互动模拟独特的月球环境的能力使其在此类解决方案的早期开发阶段中成为潜在强大的设计工具。基于EL3开发团队的意见,我们制作了一种基于VR的操作场景,该场景具有陆地机的假设配置。依靠HCI研究方法,我们随后与相关专家(n = 10)评估了这种情况。最初的试点研究中的定性发现证明了VR作为在这种情况下的设计工具的有用性,但同样以潜在的有效性和普遍性的形式出现了许多局限性。最后,我们概述了未来的研究计划,并反思了物理刺激的潜在使用,以提高基于VR的模拟在即将举行的设计活动中的有效性。
The European Large Logistics Lander (EL3) is being designed to carry out cargo delivery missions in support of future lunar ground crews. The capacity of virtual reality (VR) to visualize and interactively simulate the unique lunar environment makes it a potentially powerful design tool during the early development stages of such solutions. Based on input from the EL3 development team, we have produced a VR-based operational scenario featuring a hypothetical configuration of the lander. Relying on HCI research methods, we have subsequently evaluated this scenario with relevant experts (n=10). Qualitative findings from this initial pilot study have demonstrated the usefulness of VR as a design tool in this context, but likewise surfaced a number of limitations in the form of potentially impaired validity and generalizability. We conclude by outlining our future research plan and reflect on the potential use of physical stimuli to improve the validity of VR-based simulations in forthcoming design activities.
