Bubbles sorting - A new method to evaluate the information architecture in Three Dimensional Projects for VR / AR / MR projects

- 2. Lariane Rossanese | UX Researcher & Designer | Samsung R&D Brazil The UX Team was faced the challenge of solving a VR environment's Information Architecture. The main endeavor was to understand the user's mental model for tridimensional environments items organization without using the virtual reality with them. On the other hand the Card Sorting Method is limited to 2D organization. So, based on this method we created a new one: Bubbles Sorting; a method for understanding the user interaction in three dimensional space; helping to design and evaluate the information architecture for a VR environment. In this talk I will describe the research plan, the new methodology "Bubbles Sorting" and the successful results for the project. Abstract

It’s important for an organization to be information specific while fetching this information as there are billions of pages available on the internet.

It is a communication tool that can be used in lieu of boring task checklists that are far removed from the user. They provide a natural, engaging way to share behavior, perspectives, and attitudes. Deliverable: User Journey with Opportunities mapped Interview with 10 people to understand how and why they take pictures, and how they archive and search for them. source: http://designresearchtechniques.com/casestudies/storytelling/

- 15. Card Sorting Card sorting was originally developed by psychologists as a method to the study of how people organize and categorize their knowledge. It consists of researchers writing labels representing concepts (either abstract or concrete) on cards, and then asking participants to sort (categorize) the cards into piles that were similar in some way. After sorting the cards into piles, the participants were then asked to give the piles a name or phrase that would indicate what the concepts in a particular pile had in common. sources: https://uxpa.org/sites/default/files/JUS_Wood_Nov2008.pdf https://www.usability.gov/how-to-and-tools/methods/card-sorting.html One on Ones are in-person sessions with an observer. Participants think aloud while sorting, giving a clearer picture of their reactions and thought processes.
- 17. The Bubbles Sorting We adapted the Card Sorting method using instead plastic balls for the users to experience the three-dimensional immersion to explore the environment in the room. We did this with 40 images with themes of traveling, food, friends and family. Please organize these images as you would like to see and find them in Virtual Reality. You can explore the entire room, use the plastic balls and other materials (pen and Post-its notes) to support your organization. TASK:

I would like to organize them around me and if I want to delete them, it could drag them to a trash can at my feet. Favorites GROUPS bigger bubbles as album cover sand favorites trash can Insights NEW IMAGES
- 25. when accessing their memories most people want to visualize them organized in the way they left them most people organize the images looking at them one by one and defining which group they are part of. it is necessary to have a title text of the categories that people organized as reference represents the largest bubble category with album cover text and image NOMENCLATURE SPATIAL REFERENCE tagging by category and favorite images to feed relevant new searches FUNCTIONSORGANIZING Findings
- 26. there are two types of relevance for the user: the favorites to save and the favorites to share there are less important memories that people want to keep in the gallery and they can be hidden behind the field of view the idea of subcategories is still very strong for many people the most relevant ones become bigger and closer to the user the chronological order can be by user proximity the sizes and the dispositions are by order of relevance and chronologically by events: HIERARCHIES
