The Effects of Gender and the Presence of Third-Party Humans on Telepresence Camera Height Preferences

摘要: With the rise of immersive virtual reality and telepresence, it is important to understand factors that contribute creating an optimal user experience. In particular, there are divergent recommendations for setting camera heights in contexts facilitate telepresence. Therefore, we conducted a 2x2 mixed-design experiment with 93 college students asking them select their preferred height when varying placement (overhead, chest) presence human avatars (present, not present). We found while did have significant effect height, (increased preference) gender (women lower heights) were significant. Our results provide evidence within environment individual differences influence users’ preferences height. Thus, systems designed telepresence should customize based on these factors.
