Abstract
A framework has recently been developed to evaluate the user experience (UX) design for a virtual reality (VR) indoor bike. However, no comparative evaluation has been performed for an actual product using this framework. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the framework and identifies some problems when applying it. To validate the framework, we applied the proposed framework to a Korean VR indoor bike (KoVIB) prototype and VirZOOM, a commercial VR bike. The evaluation criteria consist of usability, emotional aspects, user values, and sense of reality. These four criteria were interpreted to evaluate prototypes and include 13, 6, 8, and 16 sub-elements, respectively. The results revealed the strengths and weakness between the Korean prototype and the commercial product, which are valuable for promotion and improvement. The framework helps to identify some problems when applied to real domains. As a result, we recommend a revised framework to compare prototypes with existing VR bikes.
