The purpose of this project is to validate the following research question: Would testing UI prototypes in a simulated virtual reality environment provide a better experience to testing in a usability lab setting? Better experience‚ is defined as the system having better usability, lower cognitive workload and higher user satisfaction. I want to explore how VR could be used as a platform to test mobile and desktop UI prototypes in a way that adds virtual environments during usability testing, and to see if users respond better than not having any environmental cues.
