The multi-browser Virtual Environment (VE) is designed for desktop VR to simulate a multi-screen arrangement to enhance productivity in internet activities. Various evaluation models must be used to assess the feasibility of early-stage software development. Initially, pilot evaluations will focus on factors within the developed VE and human factors to measure this VE. The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a well-known evaluation technique that measures usability and learnability. Additionally, human factor evaluation models will be used to assess changes in the user's mental state, such as fatigue, stress, and physical discomfort. The study found no significant differences in SUS, usability, or learnability among experienced and inexperienced users of the multi-browser VE. Both groups found the system equally usable and learnable. The evaluation of human factors revealed no significant differences in fatigue, stress, or physical discomfort before and after using the multi-browser VE. For the browsing experience, there was a clear preference for multi-browser VE over traditional browsing experiences. Overall, multi-browser VE was well received and had no noticeable effect on users' mental states. © 2026, Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institution. All rights reserved.
