Navigation Pixie: Implementation and Empirical Study Toward On-demand Navigation Agents in Commercial Metaverse

  • 用大模型+空间信息构建松耦合导航系统
  • 实测提升99名玩家在平台的停留与探索时间
  • 适合想做虚拟世界交互设计的研究者

商业元宇宙平台虽有丰富用户生成内容,但缺乏能根据用户兴趣和意图动态调整的导航辅助。尽管先前研究已在受控环境中探索按需代理,但在配置多样、平台限制多的实际商业环境中的实现仍具挑战。本文提出 Navigation Pixie,一种采用松耦合架构的按需导航代理,将结构化空间元数据与基于大语言模型的自然语言处理结合,同时降低对平台的依赖,支持在大型商业元宇宙平台上的实验。我们在商业元宇宙平台 Cluster 上开展了跨平台实验,共招募 99 名 PC 用户和 94 名 VR-HMD 用户。结果显示,相较于固定路线和无代理条件,Navigation Pixie 显著提升了用户的停留时长和自由探索行为。主观评估表明,PC 环境下用户普遍偏好按需导航,而 VR-HMD 中则存在情境依赖的社交感知优势。本研究推动了对话式空间导航在虚拟现实交互设计中的发展,建立了跨平台评估方法,揭示了环境依赖的有效性差异,并验证了在商业元宇宙平台中开展实证实验的可行性框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

While commercial metaverse platforms offer diverse user-generated content, they lack effective navigation assistance that can dynamically adapt to users' interests and intentions. Although previous research has investigated on-demand agents in controlled environments, implementation in commercial settings with diverse world configurations and platform constraints remains challenging. We present Navigation Pixie, an on-demand navigation agent employing a loosely coupled architecture that integrates structured spatial metadata with LLM-based natural language processing while minimizing platform dependencies, which enables experiments on the extensive user base of commercial metaverse platforms. Our cross-platform experiments on commercial metaverse platform Cluster with 99 PC client and 94 VR-HMD participants demonstrated that Navigation Pixie significantly increased dwell time and free exploration compared to fixed-route and no-agent conditions across both platforms. Subjective evaluations revealed consistent on-demand preferences in PC environments versus context-dependent social perception advantages in VR-HMD. This research contributes to advancing VR interaction design through conversational spatial navigation agents, establishes cross-platform evaluation methodologies revealing environment-dependent effectiveness, and demonstrates empirical experimentation frameworks for commercial metaverse platforms.
