UserTesting Has Debuted New Features for Its Human Insight Platform

— January 24, 2022 — Business
'UserTesting,' a video-based human insights company, has unveiled a slew of new features for its 'Human Insight Platform.' These features are optional for VR users and allow users, or corporations, to gather various insights on the state of products or services in VR.

UserTesting uses its Human Insights Platform to create 'Customer Experience Narratives' (CxNs), which can be used by organizations to gather insightful information on market and consumer trends. For example, CxNs allow organizations to get a better understanding of how consumers perceive VR and how consumers first respond to in-app elements, such as products, characters, or environments.

In addition to this, CxNs enable the ability for organizations to "see and hear what target audiences think while engaging with a live VR app or the metaverse." One of the most notable applications for this Human Insight Platform and its CxNs is Horizon Worlds is Meta's flagship virtual world application. Horizon Worlds users, whether personal or an organization, can opt-in to UserTesting's platform, which means Meta can collect a large amount of information that can be used for monetization and advertising in the Metaverse of the future.
