PRESENTATION:
"How to Use Virtual Reality Methods to Inform Product Development"
In the past year, due to the pandemic, research and development of medical devices has been dramatically impacted in conforming to a usability engineering process. Many usability evaluation methods requiring in-person protocols were suspended, while other methods were utilized more than usual and enhanced. One method - Virtual Reality - saw a rapid evolution in its technology and application.
The demonstration will introduce the application of VR technology into the user evaluation process, including:
- Using VR technology for user preference studies and use case scenario confirmation
- Case examples explaining challenges and benefits
- See a demonstration of the application of VR into methodologies where research and development can benefit from the technology beyond approaches born from pandemic measures
WHEN/WHERE: September 21, 2021 from 3:15 to 4:00 p.m. at Center Stage, Booth #843, Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Additional demonstrations will be available at BlackHägen's exhibitor booth #1037.
