Abstract

Extended Reality (XR) technologies, encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), have seen rapid advancement and widespread adoption across various domains, including education, healthcare, entertainment and industry. Evaluating these technologies is crucial for understanding their usability, user experience, performance and overall effectiveness. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current approaches and theoretical models employed in the evaluation of XR technologies. The evaluation approaches discussed include usability evaluation, which focuses on the ease of use and user satisfaction through methods such as user testing and heuristic evaluation; user experience (UX) evaluation, which assesses the holistic experience of users using questionnaires, interviews and focus groups; and performance evaluation, which measures task efficiency and error rates to determine the effectiveness of XR systems.
