诸如虚拟现实和增强现实之类的扩展现实（XR）技术现已广泛用于人机交互（HCI）、社会科学和心理学实验中。然而，这些实验主要是共同在场的研究人员在实验室内进行的。尽管非XR研究的远程方法取得了成功，但在没有共同研究人员在场的情况下，远程实验并没有蓬勃发展。本文总结了对46位XR研究人员进行的30个项目的调查结果，以了解远程XR实验的局限性和好处。我们的主题分析确定了非XR远程研究中常见的问题，例如参与者招募，以及XR特定的问题，包括安全性和硬件可变性。我们确定了XR技术潜在的积极优势，包括利用HMD内置的数据收集功能（例如手、注视跟踪）以及实验装置的便携性和可再现性。我们建议将XR技术概念化为一种交互式技术和一种适合远程实验的功能强大的数据收集设备。
原文题目：Extended Reality (XR) Remote Research: a Survey of Drawbacks and Opportunities
原文：Extended Reality (XR) technology - such as virtual and augmented reality - is now widely used in Human Computer Interaction (HCI), social science and psychology experimentation. However, these experiments are predominantly deployed in-lab with a co-present researcher. Remote experiments, without co-present researchers, have not flourished, despite the success of remote approaches for non-XR investigations. This paper summarises findings from a 30-item survey of 46 XR researchers to understand perceived limitations and benefits of remote XR experimentation. Our thematic analysis identifies concerns common with non-XR remote research, such as participant recruitment, as well as XR-specific issues, including safety and hardware variability. We identify potential positive affordances of XR technology, including leveraging data collection functionalities builtin to HMDs (e.g. hand, gaze tracking) and the portability and reproducibility of an experimental setting. We suggest that XR technology could be conceptualised as an interactive technology and a capable data-collection device suited for remote experimentation.
