Abstract

This study applied the User-Centered Design(UCD) to develop effective VR safety training content for specific users. The UCD-based design was tailored to the VR, facilitating efficient design activities. The UCD process comprises key activities: deriving design concepts from user needs, designing with VR features, developing prototypes, conducting comprehensive evaluations with experts and users, and completing the finals. Unlike traditional UCD, this flexible approach allows iterative cycles, enhancing the quality and user satisfaction of VR safety training contents.

본 연구는 특정 사용자들이 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는 VR 안전교육콘텐츠를 개발하기 위해 사용자 참여 디자인 방법론(UCD)을 적용하였다. 이에 따라 UCD 기반의 설계를 통해 얻은 인사이트를 VR 매체에 특화시키고, 효율적인 설계 활동이 가능하도록 방법론을 개발하였다. 개발된 UCD는 다음과 같은 주요 활동으로 구성된다: 첫째, 사용자 니즈와 관련된 다양한 자료를 활용하여 설계 방향을 수립하는 '컨셉 도출'; 둘째, VR 특성을 내용과 구현적 측면으로 나누어 설계하는 '디자인 설계'; 셋째, 프로토타입을 구현하는 '개발'; 넷째, 사용자 집단을 포함한 전문가와 일반인 집단으로 종합적인 검토를 진행하는 '평가'; 마지막으로 최종 콘텐츠를 완성하는 '완료'이다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 프로세스는 기존 UCD와 달리 콘텐츠 개발 과정이 설계 내용 개선에 집중될 수 있도록 다음과 같이 탄력적으로 운영할 수 있다. '① 디자인 설계 → 개발 → 평가 → 완료', '② 디자인 설계 → 개발 → 완료', '③ 디자인 설계 → 개발 → 평가 → 보완 → 디자인 설계 → 개발 → 평가 → 완료' 등으로, 이를 통해, VR 안전교육콘텐츠의 품질과 사용자의 만족도를 높일 수 있다.
