| Abstract: | Social acceptance is still a problem among Extended Reality (XR) devices, like the Apple Vision Pro (AVPro). This is influenced by social presence and safety, as it is important to be socially present and safe while using an XR device in the designated environment, both for the comfort and security of the user and the bystanders. To investigate these challenges, user studies were conducted on social acceptance around the AVPro in practice, to see what elements are challenging about the device. Findings revealed that bystanders are often curious about what the user is doing within the headset, which indicates that design elements need to be added to enhance the transparency of the AVPro from user to bystander. Based on these insights, a new design was developed to show a 3D model of the AVPro with new design elements introduced to it, that should enhance social acceptance within the social context of playing bluffing tabletop games. This model contributes to creating XR devices that are better suited for usage in social contexts. |
