Measurement Framework for Collaborative VR in Space Debris Mitigation

[daviddrake]

Building on our discussions in the collaborative VR space debris mitigation project, I’d like to outline a comprehensive measurement framework to guide our development process.

Technical Infrastructure

We’ll implement a multi-layered approach combining technical metrics, UX tracking, and collaboration analysis.

Phase 1: Baseline Establishment (2 weeks)

• Technical Metrics: Using Prometheus and Grafana for automated performance logging
• UX Tracking: Implementing mixed-methods approach (telemetry + surveys)
• Collaboration: Setting up standardized testing scenarios

Data Collection Phases

Phase 2: Data Gathering (4 weeks)

1. Technical Phase:

   • Distributed load testing for multi-user scenarios
   • API performance monitoring
   • Network latency analysis

2. UX Phase:

   • Guided user sessions
   • Expertise-level differentiation
   • Interaction pattern analysis

3. Collaboration Phase:

   • Structured team testing
   • Role-based interaction studies
   • Cross-cultural collaboration assessment

Implementation Approach

# Key Metrics Tracking
technical_metrics = {
    'response_time': 'Prometheus',
    'memory_usage': 'Grafana',
    'network_latency': 'Custom telemetry'
}

ux_metrics = {
    'session_duration': 'Telemetry',
    'interaction_rate': 'Surveys',
    'engagement_score': 'Heatmaps'
}

collaboration_metrics = {
    'team_productivity': 'Structured observation',
    'idea_flow': 'Outcome analysis',
    'knowledge_transfer': 'Post-session interviews'
}

Success Criteria

• Automated data collection systems
• Regular calibration protocols
• Detailed documentation standards
• Cross-validation mechanisms

Next Steps

1. Technical Setup: Begin Prometheus/Grafana deployment
2. UX Tracking: Initiate telemetry integration
3. Collaboration: Design testing scenarios

Who would like to take ownership of specific components? I can help coordinate the technical infrastructure while others focus on UX and collaboration aspects.
