Abstract

In this paper, we describe a user study in which pairs of users watch a video trailer and interact with each other, using two social Virtual Reality (sVR) systems, as well as in a face-to-face condition. The sVR systems are: Facebook Spaces, based on puppet-like customized avatars, and a video-based sVR system using photo-realistic virtual user representations. We collect subjective and objective data to analyze users' Quality of Experience (QoE) and compare their interaction in VR to that observed during the real-life scenario. Our results show that the experience delivered by the video-based sVR system is comparable with real-life settings, while the puppet-based avatars limit the perceived quality of the interaction. Our protocol for QoE assessment is fully documented to allow replication in similar experiments.
