Multi-browser VE: Enhancing internet browsing experience through virtual reality

This paper presents the development of a Multi-Browser Virtual Environment (VE) aimed at improving the user experience of internet browsing through Desktop Virtual Reality (VR) technology. By integrating multiple web browsers within the Virtual Environment (VE), users can engage in more intuitive and interactive browsing experiences. This study explores the development of Multi-Browser VE in the early stage of development, an evaluation model to assess this system by measuring usability and user feedback compared to the traditional browsing experience. Initial studies suggest that the Multi-Browser VE offers good usability and a more excellent browsing experience than traditional desktop-based interfaces. • Multi-browser VE is a Virtual Reality (VR) technology; the software was created for desktop VR in this initial development. • Multi-Browser VE was developed with nine web browsers arranged so that more than one tab can be viewed simultaneously. • The navigation model is also designed to facilitate user interaction during the initial development of this VE. • The initial development of this software evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and Human Factor Evaluation. • The SUS indicates that the VE is ”good,” and the Human Factor Evaluation confirms that it does not cause physical discomfort.
