“…Additionally, we went on with exploring the most recently conducted studies focused on. Furthermore, we explored recent studies focused on developing hybrid solutions, merging both of the AR and VR applications into a single environment, to provide a game that rests on both paradigms [19][20]. Based on those perceptions, the creators should be able to achieve the desired results and purposes lying behind setting up the game for instance, research on how to get an educational purpose by spreading awareness of safety issues for general public [21] while providing the user with some kind of entertainment and, therefrom, a satisfaction of the player is ensued.…”

The increasing accessibility of Virtual reality (VR) technology presents an opportunity for enhancing human immersion in several domains (Industrial, Social, Media, Cultural heritage, etc.). Moreover, it has huge impact to leverage its interaction and engagement; to un-dominate person on live, work, and diversion. The development of innovative VR-driven method is a sign of evolvement witnessed by the interaction design industry. In this respect, the work presents a complete framework for the design of virtual reality-based game; offering features, mechanisms, and 3D models that facilitate the development of interactive scenes, which reveal of the city’s historic monuments reality. The main research question focuses on empirically establishing the impact of virtual reality on video game design, including its influence on in-game cultural placement and its potential to enhance the retention of legacy game experiences within players’ memories. The results show that the game experience is felt original, enjoyable, and appealing for the user’s target group. Also, participants appreciate the use of VR technologies to explore cultural scenes and product; and to enhance empathy within a virtual experience. Furthermore, our research extends recent studies, proposing a VR-based design methodology, as well as, an assessing process. It guides the creation of visual representation of monuments, artifacts, and culture. Moreover, it improves user’s point of view and knowledge of the place they visit, within playing the WallysCar Crash Team Racing (WCTR) game. Our project intended to achieve a twofold purpose related to the Tunisian context: discovering the popular “Sfax City” with historical and patrimonial monumental heritage, while promoting the local industry creation.

“…Each interface provides users different functionalities, highlighting the peculiarity of each device. Clash tank [20] proposes a slightly different approach. Despite users were positioned in an immersive VR scenario, they could still interact with the real environment by visualizing it through a virtual monitor (an external camera is used to acquire the desired images).…”

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are increasingly becoming more pervasive and important in the information technology area. Thanks to the technological improvements, desktop interfaces are being replaced by immersive VR devices that offer a more compelling game experience. AR games have started to draw attention of researchers and companies for their ability to exploit both the real and virtual environments. New fascinating challenges are generated by the possibility of designing hybrid games that allow several users to access shared environments exploiting the features of both AR and VR devices. However, the user experience and usability can be affected by several parameters, such as the field of view (FoV) of the employed devices or the realism of the scene. The work presented in this chapter aims to assess the impact of the FoV on the usability of the interfaces in a first-person shooter game. Two players, interacting with AR (first player) and VR (second player) devices, can fight each other in a large game environment. Although we cannot ascertain that different FoVs have affected the game usability, users considered the narrow FoV interfaces to be less usable, even though they could freely move around the real environment.

“…However, there are several shortcomings in response time and accuracy on head and hand tracking. The proportion of people wearing VR glasses who report nausea is high [14] . Adverse effects such as dizziness, carsickness or discomfort are widely cited as the common side-effects of HMD use, especially for the firsttime users.…”

Due to the inherent shortcomings of the hardware, the immersion of visual interaction between the user and the virtual reality (VR) equipment is greatly reduced. In this paper, effects of eye-around vibration haptics on improving the VR immersion were studied. The vibration was generated by flexible vibrators whose performance was evaluated by a laser vibrometer. Fitting the vibrators on the human eye area at different positions and derived by different waveforms and frequencies of the input signal, the effects of vibration on the human vision and comfort of the users were verified. Then, with the selected input signals and fitting locations, different kinds of vibration were applied on the eye area cooperating with virtual reality images or videos to evaluate the changes of immersion. Research results provide references to the modeling of eye tactile feedback and the design of relevant tactile device in improving the VR immersion.
