Navigating Paris Digitally: an Exploratory Research of 360 º Immersive Videos

The data collected refers to an experiential activity enabling participants to virtually visit the Eiffel Tower and cycle through Parisian suburbs through 360º videos displayed in a Head-Mounted display (HMD) headset (first-generation HTC Vive). The activity was programmed to enable an adaptation of VR technology and to exceed expectations with an adventure and physical exercise divided into four moments: Part 1 was the Eiffel Tower visit through 360º video (Available at: https://youtu.be/HNApxhvK1Hg); Part 2 was centered on a semi-structured group conversation to check the mood of the participants; Part 3 focused on a Paris Suburbs Cycling tour through 360º videos (Available at: https://youtu.be/tI3bKRRMAKA); Part 4 ended with some experience evaluation and feedback, where the participants filled out a questionnaire developed based on the technology Acceptance Model of Barsasella and colleagues (2023) to evaluate the experience (variables Q1 to Q13). Moreover, throughout the experience, Parisian music was played in the background to set the mood (Available at: https://youtu.be/tkjlYxUf4-M). This experiment involved two distinct groups (variable Group), institutionalized adults (GI-Institutionalize) and active individuals (GA-Active), totaling 114 participants.

本次采集的数据源自一项沉浸式体验活动，参与者可借助头戴式显示器（Head-Mounted Display, HMD，初代HTC Vive）播放的360°视频，实现埃菲尔铁塔虚拟游览与巴黎郊区骑行穿梭。该活动旨在实现虚拟现实（Virtual Reality, VR）技术的适配应用，并通过划分为四个阶段的冒险与体育锻炼环节，带来远超预期的沉浸式体验：第一阶段为360°视频埃菲尔铁塔游览（视频链接：https://youtu.be/HNApxhvK1Hg）；第二阶段以半结构化小组座谈为核心，用于评估参与者的情绪状态；第三阶段为基于360°视频的巴黎郊区骑行体验（视频链接：https://youtu.be/tI3bKRRMAKA）；第四阶段以体验评价与反馈收尾，参与者需填写由Barsasella及其团队（2023）基于技术接受模型（Technology Acceptance Model, TAM）开发的问卷，对本次体验进行评估，问卷变量为Q1至Q13。此外，整个体验过程中会播放巴黎主题背景音乐以烘托氛围（音乐链接：https://youtu.be/tkjlYxUf4-M）。本次实验包含两个独立组别，对应分组变量Group：机构化成人组（GI-Institutionalize）与活跃个体组（GA-Active），总计114名参与者。
