Learning from Hello Ara Immersive Space

Our experiences and extensive study in the Hello Ara Immersive Space have illuminated several benefits of conducting online qualitative research in immersive settings.

Impact on Respondents

  1. Enhanced Focus and Immersion: Participants engage deeply with topics, aided by the ability to interact with stimuli in 3D. This heightened concentration and interaction lead to more profound insights.

  2. Authentic Self-expression: The use of avatars in an immersive space makes it easier for people to be themselves. This is especially beneficial when discussing sensitive topics, as it reduces vulnerability and encourages open conversation.

  3. Fostering Collaboration: The combination of focused engagement and authentic self-expression makes immersive spaces ideal for co-creation and collaboration.

  4. Positive Participant Experience: Participants consistently report enjoying the experience, which is key to obtaining genuine and valuable insights.
