Abstract
The development of virtual reality makes it possible to apply the technology in many fields, but the experience of users received limited attention. Quality of experience (QoE) is an evaluation metrics can be used to evaluate applications and services from the perspective of users. By an intensive analysis of the literature about user experience models and QoE related projects, three strategies for QoE evaluation were put forward: emphasizing user needs, emphasizing system characteristics and emphasizing emotional experience. As an example, a set of metrics for the evaluation of astronaut virtual training system (AVTS) are designed under the guidance of the strategies, which consists of five first-level indicators and ten second-level indicators and can be used to quantify the quality of experience of the astronaut virtual training system.
