This is a prototype tool aimed at facilitating the evaluation of VR interaction mechanics quality. Based on the parameter values (target-related, tool-related, task-related, study-related) defined by the study administrator using the desktop interface, the application generates a virtual environment (displayed on a head-mounted display) that allows players to experience and evaluate different implementations of popular VR game mechanics (shoot, slice, and pick-and-place). At the end of each test session, collected player performance measures can be exported for further analysis. The application, which was initially developed for use with HTC Vive Pro, was implemented in Unity using the VR Interaction Framework asset and is based on concepts and guidelines presented in the following journal article:
