Designing an effective user interface for VR simulation in agricultural machinery enviroments

Original language description

Human capital and education play a critical role in the success of agriculture, not just in production but also in non-production functions. Optimizing the user interface for virtual reality (VR) simulations in agricultural machinery environments requires understanding human behavior and cognitive processes, which can be achieved through education and training. Therefore, investing in human capital and education in agriculture is essential for addressing the industry's challenges and achieving its goals. This paper aims to optimize the user interface for virtual reality simulations in agricultural machinery environments. The study utilized eye-tracking technology to assess the user experience (UX) of two types of menus: panel and radial menus. The study revealed that menus are essential for the digital product user experience, allowing for efficient navigation and content access. Both types of menus were found to be above average in usability, with the panel menu significantly outperforming the radial menu. Heat maps showed that participants concentrated on only a portion of the buttons on the panel menu, while the radial menu had a more dispersed field of concentration. Despite the advantages of the radial menu highlighted by some participants, Concurrent Thinkaloud method (CTA) and Retrospective Think-aloud (RTA) interviews consistently indicated that the panel menu was more intuitive, visually appealing, and easier to use, as it was located near the point of interest, the tractor. On the other hand, the radial menu was functional but challenging, particularly when switching attention between the menu and the tractor or raising the hand.
