Immersive virtual reality applications aim at
providing an all-encompassing spatial experience
where a user can feel like being in another world or
dimension. The systems are inherently designed for
individual use as the devices disconnect the user from
the physical environment. However, the applications
are seldom used alone. Specifically, when used for
sales and marketing, the user often needs help from
other people but also benefits from social interaction
as a part of the experience. Design research
methodology is applied to three iterative development
versions of a virtual-reality application. The focus of
the evaluation of the artifacts is in the social use
emphasizing three sociability factors: shared
knowledge, mutual trust and influence. According to
the findings, the users prefer personal social
interaction as a part of the experience. Thus, the social
aspect should be emphasized in the service design.
