论文摘要
在Covid-19的大流行期间，在线会议对于内政部的日常团队合作变得很普遍。为了了解虚拟现实（VR）会议的机会和挑战，与视频会议相比，我们在四个月的五个现成的在线会议平台上进行了人力计算机互动研究实验室的每周团队会议。在12次会议中的每一次之后，我们要求参与者（n = 32）分享他们的经验，从而完成了200份在线问卷。我们评估了整体会议经验的评级，并对定量数据进行了探索性因素分析，以在会议参与和共同介绍方面比较VR会议和视频呼叫。此外，对定性数据的主题分析揭示了涵盖五个主题的真正见解：空间方面，满足氛围，表达情绪，满足生产力和用户需求。我们反思我们在真实的工作条件下获得的发现，从而获得了在支持各种会议格式的VR成功团队会议上学习的经验教训，并讨论了团队的长期平台选择。
During the Covid-19 pandemic, online meetings became common for daily teamwork in the home office. To understand the opportunities and challenges of meeting in virtual reality (VR) compared to video conferences, we conducted the weekly team meetings of our human-computer interaction research lab on five off-the-shelf online meeting platforms over four months. After each of the 12 meetings, we asked the participants (N = 32) to share their experiences, resulting in 200 completed online questionnaires. We evaluated the ratings of the overall meeting experience and conducted an exploratory factor analysis of the quantitative data to compare VR meetings and video calls in terms of meeting involvement and co-presence. In addition, a thematic analysis of the qualitative data revealed genuine insights covering five themes: spatial aspects, meeting atmosphere, expression of emotions, meeting productivity, and user needs. We reflect on our findings gained under authentic working conditions, derive lessons learned for running successful team meetings in VR supporting different kinds of meeting formats, and discuss the team's long-term platform choice.
