VR Museum Experience

Abstract: Museum Anna Nordlander is a part of Skelleftea Museum and focuses on the artist Anna Nordlander. ˚ The goal of the project was to develop a VR Experience centered around Anna Nordlander and one of her paintings. The content for the experience was provided and recorded by the people at Museum Anna Nordlander. The purpose was to create a playable demo with features like audio playback, interactable objects, and a modular approach to the code which would allow future additions to the project. This paper investigates how some of the design choices affects the user experience. Specifically, how our choices affect the users physically, how prevalent certain symptoms common in VR are in the product. To gather the necessary data both the Oculus GO and the Oculs Qust were tested. The user tests showed that room scale tracking is an important feature to reduce user discomfort and nausea, and teleportation style movement is not a good solution while using the Oculus GO. The end result is a playable demo containing all the content provided to the developers and all the requested features. The demo is also intended to be modular and easy to expand upon in the future.
