商品描述

The book presents research in understanding how to make Virtual Reality (VR) applications more enjoyable and realistic. The author studies this in relation not just to VR games for entertainment, but also for other applications such as serious games, which are used for education and training. To make VR games better, the work examines topics like the content in the game, the context in which it's played, and human factors like one's age, and previous experience with VR. By understanding these factors, the author creates guidelines to make VR games more engaging and user-friendly. The primary purpose of this work is to evaluate and identify different influences on User Experience (UX) for VR serious games, intending to narrow the research gap between Influencing Factors (IFs), UX, and design guidelines for VR serious games. With eight user studies and five different VR serious games developed, different influences and links between those factors and UX components are investigated.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書呈現了有關如何使虛擬實境(VR)應用程式更具享受性和真實性的研究。作者不僅研究與娛樂相關的VR遊戲,還探討其他應用,例如用於教育和訓練的嚴肅遊戲。為了改善VR遊戲,本研究檢視了遊戲內容、遊玩情境以及人類因素,如年齡和先前的VR經驗等主題。透過理解這些因素,作者制定了使VR遊戲更具吸引力和使用友好的指導方針。本研究的主要目的是評估和識別對VR嚴肅遊戲的使用者體驗(UX)不同影響的因素,旨在縮小影響因素(IFs)、UX和VR嚴肅遊戲設計指導方針之間的研究差距。透過八項使用者研究和五款不同的VR嚴肅遊戲的開發,探討了這些因素與UX組件之間的不同影響和聯繫。
