ICS-MR: Interactive Conversation Scenarios for Assessment of Mixed Reality Communication

摘要

We present ICS-MR, a dataset containing three conversational scenarios designed for the evaluation of communication quality in Mixed Reality (MR) systems. Along with detailed descriptions of the conversation tasks, we provide all the materials required to incorporate the tasks into MR user studies. The materials also support application of the scenarios in real-world and video-conferencing contexts for studies that, for example, call for comparison of immersive systems against reference communication media. Open-source Unity implementations of the scenarios are also made available, supporting direct usage of the scenarios in distributed, multi-user experiments. The conversation tasks have all been administered in recent scientific works that address the evaluation of user experiences in immersive communication systems, allowing analysis and comparison of each scenario's evoked behavioral properties. The ICS-MR dataset therefore contributes valuable resources for further research on communication in immersive systems.
