title = "Discovering Road Cyclists{\textquoteright} Needs and Preferences for Mixed Reality User Interfaces Using Immersive Simulation",
abstract = "Striking a balance between simulation realism and immersion is essential for the development and evaluation of a prototyping environment (set-up and methodology) for Mixed Reality Road bicycle racing applications. Multi-sensory immersion, safety, usability, and design process iterability are hard requirements for the proposed prototyping environment in which a tandem rides on a treadmill with a participant riding up-front wearing a Virtual Reality headset. In the virtual environment, with interactable interface artefacts in a 360-video sphere, participants{\textquoteright} needs and preferences are dis-covered as participants configure their own 3D user-interface for Mixed Reality capable cycling glasses. Sessions that simulate a cycling race, focus on two distinct scenarios of ascending and descending. Two prototyping methods, while standing and while riding a bicycle, are evaluated and compared. Cyclists{\textquoteright} preferences include types of information, their placement in the visual field, size, and colour, depicted in heatmap visualisations. These insights are essential for designers of Mixed Reality systems with real-time information for outdoor bicycle racing.",
