Participants in this research enacted collaborating with a second research participant in a team with autonomous robots in three immersive virtual reality (VR) simulations of a bushfire emergency control room. In the VR simulations, participants play specific roles across three time-critical emergency scenarios: a bushfire emergency, a search and rescue, and an evacuation operation. Participants were asked some questions about their demographics, personal characteristics (attitudes towards AI and robots, Big Five personality) and previous experience with VR and robots. Participants were also interviewed about their experiences in the simulations. This research was conducted in our VR lab on campus using HTC Vive Eye Pro head-mounted VR devices.
