Hi there!
My name is Thor, and I’m a researcher from Denmark. I’m currently doing a study of how using VRChat affects the quality of life for users. This is also why I’m writing: I’m looking for experienced users of VRC to interview for my study and was hoping that I could find some participants here. Very briefly put, the interviews will be about what it is like to use VRC, and what it means to you at a personal level. The interview will last around 45-75 minutes and take place online.
You don’t need to have any special expertise or background to participate, and I don’t ask anything of you beyond some of your time to hear about your experiences with and thoughts about VRC. The only requirements are that:
- you are 18+,
- you use VRC at least a couple of times or more a week,
- you consider yourself an experienced or dedicated user of VRC.
If you’re interested, you can just let me know in this thread, or you can send me an e-mail at hennelund@sdu.dk and I will forward you the information sheet for the study.
I unfortunately cannot offer any economic compensation for your time, but I really hope that some of you would still like to share your experiences with me. Hearing from experienced users like many of you is one of the best ways of bringing nuance to research debates that have a lot of prejudices about virtual reality platforms like VRC. Alternatively, if you don’t want to participate but know someone that would, please feel free to share this post with them.
All data will, of course, be anonymized and only used for research purposes.
Thanks so much in advance and I hope to hear from some of you!
- Thor
