Abstract

Within the e-commerce field, disruptive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) are beginning to be used more frequently to explore new forms of human-computer interaction in the field and enhance the shopping experience for users. Key to this are the increasingly accurate hands-free interaction mechanisms that the user can employ to interact with virtual products and the environment. This study presents an experiment with a set of participants that will address: (1) users’ evaluation of a set of pre-formalised interaction mechanisms, (2) preference for a large-scale or small-scale shopping environment and how the degree of usability while navigating the large-scale one, and (3) the usefulness of monitoring user activity to infer user preferences. The results provided show that i) interaction mechanisms made with users’ hands are fluid and natural, ii) high usability in small and large shopping spaces and the second ones being preferred by the users and iii) the recorded interactions can be employed for user profiling that improves future shopping experience.
