Web 3.0 e Metaverso: um estudo sobre avaliação das Interfaces de ambientes em realidade virtual

Abstract

Proposed by Neal Stephenson in the science fiction Snow Crash (1992), the metaverse became an interest of developers in making it possible and, in the last 5 years, investments in favor of this enthusiasm induced more discussions about it. This work seeks to contextualize the metaverse and its potential while resuming its history within cyberculture and virtual reality studies to understand the technological innovations involved and their relationship with potential new users, from a UX (User Experience) design perspective. To do it, the research the goal is to make a study about the pragmatic and hedonic aspects of the user experience of the proto-metaverse VRChat, as a representative of the available platforms. By using the AttrakDiff-R, a scaled self-report form, it was possible to perceive the positive impact that virtual reality has on the user experience after immersion, as well as non-functional UI (User Interface) solutions in an immersive interface.
