Abstract
This article presents research practices for a biometric data collection protocol involving virtual reality equipment, based on principles that guide human-centered design (HCD) and experience design (UX), with the aim of exploring the potential for applying design methodologies and their tools for research practices in data collection in the context of Virtual Reality and others. With the know-how in research and design of the team of the Creativity Laboratory of the Scientific and Technological Park of PUCRS (Tecnopuc Crialab), a research protocol and a participant’s journey map were conceived based in the principles of HCD and UX. These were improved based on feedback from tests carried out with researchers and subjects, in an iterative process throughout the research. Based on theoretical contributions and the practical experience described, practices are presented that can be considered in research with virtual reality equipment, and in any type of experiment involving people.
