Abstract: Despite intense and wide-spread research in both virtual environments (VEs) and usability, the exciting new technology of VEs has not yet been closely coupled with the important characteristic of usability | a necessary coupling if VEs are to reach their full potential. Although numerous methods exist for usability evaluation of interactive computer applications, these methods have well-known limitations, especially for evaluating VEs. Thus, there is a great need to develop usability evaluation ... (Update)

...little research on usability in VEs. Even the methods applied to interactive applications are not suitable and rather limited for VEs [5]. There has been some research done on wayfinding in large virtual worlds. This is important, because badly designed (large) virtual...
