The author proposes a novel navigation technique using dynamic perspective switching to enhance spatial orientation and overview in virtual reality games.
Özet
In the content, the authors introduce a new navigation approach for virtual reality games that involves switching between first-person and third-person perspectives. This technique aims to improve spatial orientation, avoid cybersickness, and enhance the overall gaming experience. The study conducted evaluates the benefits of this approach compared to traditional teleportation methods, highlighting improvements in spatial awareness and enjoyment while maintaining equal levels of presence and competence. Design implications are provided for future applications and enhancements of this innovative navigation technique.
The research also delves into related concepts such as immersion, presence, cybersickness, locomotion techniques, and perspective-switching. The study includes detailed evaluations, scenario descriptions, research questions, hypotheses, results analysis, design implications, and potential future directions for this novel navigation method in virtual reality gaming.
İstatistikler
Our evaluation reveals a significant increase in spatial orientation while avoiding cybersickness.
Players using our technique played 66% longer on average than those using traditional teleportation methods.
Participants reported being able to orient themselves better with our proposed technique compared to standard teleportation.
Subjects using perspective switching walked 60% more while commanding their avatar in travel mode.
Alıntılar
"Players can interact with the world on a local scale and switch to a third-person travel mode on demand."
"Our experiments showed that players generally liked the idea of dynamic switching between different perspectives."
"The proposed approach preserves nearly equal levels of enjoyment despite significantly extended playtime."
