The article discusses how user representation, particularly through virtual avatars, impacts the experience in virtual reality (VR). It emphasizes the importance of having a fully-embodied avatar to enhance users’ sense of presence, connectedness, and interaction with the virtual environment. The text reviews point cloud visualization techniques that complement this representation and highlights how factors like realism of avatars can influence user preferences and task performance during VR sessions. The research underscores how a well-designed avatar can improve emotional engagement and efficiency in virtual tasks.
The sense of embodiment into an avatar is constitutive of the sense of presence in virtual reality (VR) and affects the way one interacts with virtual elements.
A way of overcoming this problem is by using a fully-embodied representation of the user within the virtual environment, which provides recognizable size and connectedness.
The experience is influenced significantly by user representation, with the use of virtual avatars impacting emotional engagement and performance within VR.
The study’s findings indicate that the realism of avatars can enhance user preference and interaction efficiency in virtual environments.
