Figure 2
The figure shows three photographs arranged side by side, each panel depicting a person using virtual reality equipment. Below each panel, centered, are the labels “Figure 2 a,” “Figure 2 b,” and “Figure 2 c.” At the bottom right corner of the figure, the label “Source: Author’s own work” is present. Above each photographic panel is a circular inset image showing either a workstation monitor or a rendered VR scene. Each inset is connected to its corresponding panel with an arrow. In “Figure 2 a” (left panel), a seated participant is shown in profile facing rightward. The participant wears a head-mounted V R display and holds a handheld controller in both hands at lap level. The circular inset above shows a desk-view monitor. In “Figure 2 b” (center panel), a standing participant wears a head-mounted V R display and interacts with a long, black horizontal apparatus mounted on a table. The participant grips a handle attached to a sliding rail and appears to be applying force along the rail while looking into the headset. The circular inset above shows a workstation monitor or virtual scene with a grid-like, color-coded interface corresponding to the participant’s task. In “Figure 2 c” (right panel), a standing participant operates handheld V R controllers while wearing a head-mounted display. The participant stands at a table with additional equipment visible. The circular inset above shows another screen or rendered scene linked to this activity.(a-c) Participants carrying out sedentary and high-intensity tasks. Source: Authors’ own work
