Attachment Matters: Usability Insights for VR Wearable Clip Systems

Why It Matters…

Attachment is the invisible UX layer of wearable tech. A seamless clip system reduces friction, increases perceived quality, and enhances the physical experience of VR.

Objective

Assess usability, ergonomics, and stability of wearable clip systems to improve attachment mechanisms for VR accessories.

Research Method

In-lab usability testing, including ergonomic assessments and quant/qual task-based evaluations with varying clip designs.

Data Analytic Approach

  • behavioral coding of user hardware interaction behaviors

  • preference clustering by hand size

  • quant/qual metrics for each clip design prototype

  • thematic analysis of user experience

Results

  • Identified ergonomic patterns that reduce fumble rates.

  • Measured user profiles that optimize ease and stability.

  • Surface interaction behaviors that informed design revisions.
