The document describes a new methodology called "Bubbles Sorting" developed to evaluate the information architecture of VR/AR/MR projects. Participants organized images using plastic balls to simulate the 3D environment. Insights from the study found that people organize images looking at them individually and defining the group, with the most relevant images becoming larger and closer. Two types of favorites emerged: ones to save and ones to share. The methodology provided useful findings for designing the information architecture and interactions in a VR image gallery.

The UX Team was faced the challenge of solving
a VR environment's Information Architecture.
The main endeavor was to understand the user's mental model for
tridimensional environments items organization without using the
virtual reality with them.
On the other hand the Card Sorting Method is limited to 2D
organization. So, based on this method we created a new one:
Bubbles Sorting; a method for understanding the user interaction
in three dimensional space; helping to design and evaluate
the information architecture for a VR environment.
In this talk I will describe the research plan, the new methodology
"Bubbles Sorting" and the successful results for the project.

Objective of the research:
• Deeply understanding users
interaction in bubbles
universe keeping in mind the
app is a gallery of images.
• What people want to see and
how they want to use an
image gallery in a virtual 360
environment.
• Guarantee the VR and
mobile navigability are still
the same experience.
12. Desk Research
External Desk Research involves research
done outside the organizational boundaries
and collecting relevant information.

• Journey into the User
Experience of Virtual Reality
• VR heuristics
• Usability recommendations
• Physiological considerations
• Interactive patterns
Online Desk Research
There is an incredible amount
of data available online. It’s
important for an organization
to be information specific while
fetching this information as
there are billions of pages
available on the internet.
13. Storytelling Research
Storytelling is a flexible design research method with a
broad range of applications, associated processes and
variations. It is a communication tool that can be used
in lieu of boring task checklists that are far removed
from the user. They provide a natural, engaging way to
share behavior, perspectives, and attitudes.
Deliverable:
User Journey with Opportunities mapped
Interview with 10 people to understand
how and why they take pictures, and
how they archive and search for them.

15. Card Sorting
Card sorting was originally developed by psychologists as a method
to the study of how people organize and categorize their knowledge.
It consists of researchers writing labels representing concepts (either
abstract or concrete) on cards, and then asking participants to sort
(categorize) the cards into piles that were similar in some way.
After sorting the cards into piles, the participants were then asked to
give the piles a name or phrase that would indicate what the
concepts in a particular pile had in common.

One on Ones are in-person sessions with an observer.
Participants think aloud while sorting, giving a clearer
picture of their reactions and thought processes.
17. The Bubbles Sorting
We adapted the Card Sorting method using
instead plastic balls for the users to
experience the three-dimensional immersion
to explore the environment in the room.
We did this with 40 images with themes of
traveling, food, friends and family.
Please organize these images as you
would like to see and find them in
Virtual Reality. You can explore the
entire room, use the plastic balls and
other materials (pen and Post-its
notes) to support your organization.

memories close to them
The relationship with bubbles
is extremely affective:
The balls are part

24. I would like to have a
directory of images to
pull together like
bubbles with a touch

I would like to organize
them around me and if I
want to delete them, it
could drag them to a

25. when accessing their

they left them
most people organize the
images looking at them one

group they are part of.

Findings
26. there are two types of relevance
for the user: the favorites to save
and the favorites to share
there are less important memories
that people want to keep in the
gallery and they can be hidden
behind the field of view
the idea of subcategories
is still very strong for
many people
the most relevant ones
become bigger and closer
to the user
the chronological
order can be by
user proximity
the sizes and the dispositions are by order
of relevance and chronologically by events:
