“…One trait that seems consistent among the different studies is that people often seem to yield the highest enjoyment from the most immersive experiences, especially in HMD type of displays [15], [16], [20]- [24]. This is the case even though HMDs tend to cause nausea and other kinds of simulator sickness afflictions [18], [22].…”

“…Playability and immersion can be affected by how the VR environment is controlled [12]- [14]. Nevertheless, we must note that research shows that immersive technologies can hinder performance when compared to a traditional setup (i.e., monitor, keyboard, and mouse) [15], [16]. From these studies, it is not clear if it is the keyboard and mouse combination as the input control responsible for the positive results.…”

The amount of interest in Virtual Reality (VR) research has significantly increased over the past few years, both in academia and industry. The release of commercial VR Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) has been a major contributing factor. However, there is still much to be learned, especially how views and input techniques, as well as their interaction, affect the VR experience. There is little work done on First-Person Shooter (FPS) games in VR, and those few studies have focused on a single aspect of VR FPS. They either focused on the view, e.g., comparing VR to a typical 2D display or on the controller types. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating variations of 2D/3D views in HMDs, controller types, and their interactions. As such, it is challenging to distinguish findings related to the controller type from those related to the view. If a study does not control for the input method and finds that 2D displays lead to higher performance than VR, we cannot generalize the results because of the confounding variables. To understand their interaction, we propose to analyze in more depth, whether it is the view (2D vs. 3D) or the way it is controlled that gives the platforms their respective advantages. To study the effects of the 2D/3D views, we created a 2D visual technique, PlaneFrame, that was applied inside the VR headset. Our results show that the controller type can have a significant positive impact on performance, immersion, and simulator sickness when associated with a 2D view. They further our understanding of the interactions that controllers and views have and demonstrate that comparisons are highly dependent on how both factors go together. Further, through a series of three experiments, we developed a technique that can lead to a substantial performance, a good level of immersion, and can minimize the level of simulator sickness.

“…Tien Tan et al [32] found that a VR version of Half-Life 2 promoted higher immersion than a desktop 3D version of the game. As a final example, two studies by Lugrin et al [33,34] compared performance and enjoyment in a VR and desktop 3D versions of Unreal Tournament, and showed that the VR version was superior for these variables.…”

“…Online video content immersion can be interrupted by a number of factors such as low buffering ratio, low bitrate, or poor join time. Lugrin and Charles [Lugrinn et al 2012] note that in an immersive interactive environment, users report a higher level of engagement despite any negative complications that may arise from using VR technology. Though some users reported mild feelings of disorientation, they adapted to their new environment and took advantage of the large field of view.…”

“…Lang [Lang 1995] investigates the linear relationship between GSR and arousal. Hazlett [Lugrinn et al 2012] uses facial electromyography as a measure for emotional valence with subjects playing a car racing game. Recent work by Craveirinha and Roque [Craveirinha and Roque 2010] challenges the traditional fun-focused model of game design in that it may be limiting the emotional depth.…”

Higher quality computer graphics in interactive applications in the areas of virtual reality and games is generally assumed to create a more immersive experience for the end user. In this study we examined this assumption by testing to what degree graphical fidelity was associated with physiological arousal as measured by a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor. Thirty-six subjects played two different video games at the highest and lowest graphical quality settings while their GSR activity was measured. No significant difference in GSR was observed that was associated with graphical quality. We conclude that, for applications in which an emotional response is desired, increased graphical quality alone does not predict a physiological arousal response.
