When someone puts on a VR headset for training, the first few minutes are crucial. If the onboarding is overwhelming or nonexistent, or the interactions are confusing, the learning stops before it even begins.
In this video, I’m kicking off a new series focused on the UX of VR Training.
Why is it that some VR training feels like a chore, while other training feels genuinely compelling? Poor VR Training design doesn’t just bore users – it can actively frustrate them.

Think 3-DoF controllers are a thing of the past? This video breaks down why these controllers are still a crucial part of the XR landscape, and how to work within their limitations.
Eye tracking offers interesting possibilities for XR, but it’s not without its quirks. In this video, I’ll dive into the benefits, as well as the often-overlooked limitations. Learn UX best practices for designing XR experiences that use eye tracking effectively and inclusively.
Hand tracking is a type of input that uses cameras on the outside of the headset to track hands and gestures in the real world and then translates that to an interaction in the digital world. Let’s talk about the pros and cons and UX best practices.
Back in the earlier days of consumer-ready VR, headsets only allowed for movement within 3 degrees of freedom, which meant you could only move your head around. This also meant that you couldn’t track a controller within 3D space the way you can now with headsets like the Quest. The most common input method for these early consumer VR headsets was gaze targeting. But is it still relevant today?
Back in 2015, it had been predicted that XR would be ubiquitous in 10 years. So here we are 10 years later. How did we do? Let’s talk about the current state, and what’s holding things back.
I’ll go over the different types of UI panels that could be used, the pros and cons of each, and I’ll give you some recommendations to keep in mind when choosing which type of follow-along panel to use in your spatial experience. So let’s get started!
As VR adoption increases, schools have also started looking into how VR can benefit children’s education. This is great to hear. That said, there is one very important thing to consider if you’re thinking about creating VR content for children under the age of 12.
My students often ask which books I would recommend for people studying XR UX Design. You may be surprised by my answer. I’ll go over my top 5 favorites and talk about which one to get first if you’re on a tight budget.
