Abstract = {Virtual Reality allows designers and
experimenters to run studies within highly ecologically valid
environments. This can be used, for example, to reiterate
through prototyping cycles quickly. Furthermore, the
technology also enables remote participation in studies as well
as simulation sessions for teaching and training purposes. These
simulations are currently pre-defined and can then be run
without allowing the experimenter to change the procedure. In
many cases, this might not be ideal. In this work, we develop a
user interface to adjust the order of tasks and events within a
simulation session that is tailored for nurses. Following the
human-centered design process, we collect requirements from
experts in the field of user experience and iterate over
prototypes. In a user study (n=6), we test the UX of the tool using
the Nasa-TLX and the Software Usability Scale. We further
collect qualitative data using the Think-Aloud method. The
software is meant to connect to an existing procedural VR
experiment that was implemented in cooperation with
healthcare and nursing educators. This profession can
especially benefit from VR simulation training due to the
implied ecological validity as well as risk-free training in safety-critical situations. Results show that participants were content
with the consequences of their actions with the GUI, albeit with
a learning curve. The usability of the software has potential to
be improved by adding feedback to user actions.}
