FAQs about 1-Hour Talks

When testing a design, product, or solution in a lab setting, researchers don't usually get a sense of how that design would work in the user's actual setting, with environmental changes, harsh or life-threatening conditions, or extreme geographic disparities. With virtual reality (VR) we can inject these variables into a lab setting to test our design within these conditions to gain a more realistic perspective before taking big (and expensive) steps toward building a final solution.

This seminar is meant to give a first-hand perspective of how VR can be integrated into user research, and how it can positively impact your next design project.
