ABSTRACT
Compared to conventional interfaces, Virtual reality (VR) interfaces contain a richer variety and more complex types of objects, behaviors, interactions and communications. Therefore, designers of VR interfaces face significant conceptual and methodological challenges in: a) thinking comprehensively about the overall design of the VR interface; b) decomposing the design task into smaller, conceptually distinct, and easier tasks; and c) communicating the structure of the design to software developers. To help designers to deal with these challenges, we propose a Virtual Reality Interface Design (VRID) Model, and an associated VRID methodology.
