Eyes on me: Investigating the role and influence of eye-tracking data on user modeling in virtual reality.

Research has shown that sensor data generated by a user during a VR experience is closely related to the user's behavior or state, meaning that the VR user can be quantitatively understood and modeled. Eye-tracking as a sensor signal has been studied in prior research, but its usefulness in a VR context has been less examined, and most extant studies have dealt with eye-tracking within a single environment. Our goal is to expand the understanding of the relationship between eye-tracking data and user modeling in VR.

The More, the Better? Improving VR Firefighting Training System with Realistic Firefighter Tools as Controllers.

A virtual reality (VR) controller plays a key role in supporting interactions between users and the virtual environment. This paper investigates the relationship between the user experience and VR control device modality. We developed a VR firefighting training system integrated with four control devices adapted from real firefighting tools.
