Research on Graphical User Interface Design for Virtual Reality Content – Based on Racing Drone Content

Unlike general contents that are experienced through monitors, HMD-based virtual reality contents are characterized by users entering the virtual environment and experiencing them. These features provide users with more immersion and presence. However, the use of GUI designs of general content in VR content can instead obstruct immersion or cause inconvenience to users. In particular, it is difficult to use GUI, which is common for contents that reproduce fast speed, such as racing drones. Therefore, this research implemented a GUI design that is suitable for VR content focused on racing drone content. Through this, this study proposes solutions to issues of GUI design for VR content by presenting minimizing unnecessary elements, centralized design, curved spacial design. This can be expected to provide a theoretical basis for VR content with the speed and application of GUI suitable for the VR environment.
