應偉德國際1946bv官網(wǎng)的邀請，寧波諾丁漢大學副校長Alain Chong教授于2025年3月17日上午10點在主樓418會議室做了題為“When Virtual and Physical are Brought Together via Augmented Reality (AR): A Mixed-Method Approach of Understanding AR Affordances and Its Design in Offline Retail”的學術報告。報告會由尹秋菊教授主持，學院眾多師生參加了報告會。
Alain Chong教授介紹了一種在線下購物環(huán)境中用于確定對用戶顯著的關鍵增強現(xiàn)實（AR）因素的兩階段混合方法。雖然AR技術可以融合“真實”和“虛擬”，但從用戶的角度對其獨特功能的研究仍然有限。通過應用這一方法，可以顯著解決現(xiàn)有研究的空白，確定在這種情況下對用戶顯著的關鍵AR因素，并探討AR可能對他們有利的原因。在第一階段，使用了一種定性的方法，結合了可視性和終端鏈理論，從用戶的角度揭示了與線下購物相關的AR因素。第一階段的研究結果強調了視覺現(xiàn)實主義作為一個獨特的AR設計特征，并發(fā)現(xiàn)低視覺真實感（例如，卡通與現(xiàn)實的AR設計）可以激發(fā)創(chuàng)造性思維，這表明這樣的設計可能有利于引入需要創(chuàng)造力的新產(chǎn)品。在第二階段，通過實驗設計測試并驗證了這一見解，重點關注新產(chǎn)品的接受程度。Alain Chong教授的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)為概念化和有效地實現(xiàn)真實和虛擬AR定義屬性的集成提供了有價值的啟示。
報告結束后，與會師生與Alain Chong教授展開了積極、充分的討論。報告反響熱烈，受到師生們的一致好評。
