Virtual Reality
Best Practices
Oculus VR best practices ISO 9241-391:2016
- Users should always be able to pause and return
- Incorporate resting positions
- Always test with newcomers
- Those experienced with VR become accustomed to it, don’t notice what would be discomfortable to newcomer
- Always start easy - not with hectic action
- Don’t waste time - folks in VR can’t log off for 5 seconds while waiting
- Present VR immediately on load (don’t use loading screen)
- Show hands (or something else that provides presence points)
- Add audio (for better immersion)
- Don’t limit to one browser (this goes beyond VR ;-)
