  • Abstract
    User-centered design is often performed without regard to individual user differences in aptitude and experience. The methodology of this study is an anthropological and observational approach observing users performing a selection task using common virtual environment raybased techniques and analyzes the interaction through psychology aptitude tests, questionnaires and observation. The results of this study show the approach yields useful information about users even in a simple task. The study indicates correlations between performance and aptitude test and user behavior performed to overcome difficulties in the task.
