Creating a virtual reality ecosystem is more important than anything else for virtual reality, which has recently been drawing attention as a sector of the fourth industrial revolution. Virtual reality ecosystem consists of content (C), device (D), platform (P), and network (N). While content is key among these, virtual reality depends on input and output devices, so device utilization is very important. Recently, hands-on devices are being developed for realistic experiences. This study presents examples of contents development using VirZOOM, an experienced device, to reduce immersion and motion sickness of VR contents. We look forward to further promoting the development of virtual reality content in the future through this study.

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.
