“…They reported a small effect size for better performance of IVR than DVR groups directly after training. However, the studies comparing learning retention after DVR and IVR training are inconclusive as Buttussi and Chittaro (2018) and Lu et al (2022) found nonsignificant differences, Smith et al (2018) reported mixed results, and Alrehaili and Al Osman (2019) recorded DVR as slightly better media. Since there are nonsignificant differences in the objective factors for learning retention, the goal attainment should be similar between both groups.…”

Skill retention after desktop and head-mounted-display virtual reality training

Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly used in learning and can be experienced with a head-mounted display (HMD) as a 3D immersive version (IVR) or with a PC (or another computer) as a 2D desktop-based version (DVR). A research gap is the effect of IVR and DVR on learners' skill retention. To address this gap, we designed an experiment in which learners were trained and tested for the assembly of a procedural industrial task.We found non-significant differences in the number of errors, the time to completion, satisfaction, self-efficacy and motivation. The results support the view that DVR and IVR are similarly useful for learning retention. These insights may help researchers and practitioners to decide which form of VR they should use.

“…Finally, while this work is focused on exergames, the findings can also be used for other types of applications [e.g., for language training and learning (Pack et al, 2020 ; Barrett et al, 2023 ) and abstract concept exploration (Lu et al, 2018 , 2023 ; Chen et al, 2021 )] where the presence of a spectator audience can have an impact on users' performance. Still, future studies could explore using spectator NPCs other than exergames, where spectators can be added to give more realism to the applications.…”

Exploring the effect of the Group Size and Feedback of non-player character spectators in virtual reality exergames

Despite the widespread interest in leveraging non-player characters (NPCs) to enhance gameplay experiences, there is a gap in understanding of how NPC spectators (i.e., those virtual characters in the scene that watch users' actions) affect players. For instance, the impact of NPC spectators' presence and feedback on players' performance and experience has not been studied, especially in virtual reality (VR) exergames. This paper aims to fill this gap and reports two user studies that assess their effect on such games. Study 1 explored the impact of having NPC spectators present and their feedback available in a gesture-based VR exergame and found having NPC spectators and their feedback could improve players' game performance, experience, and exertion. Based on Study 1's results, we further explored two characteristics of the spectators—their group size (small/large) and their feedback (with/without). The results show that (1) a large spectator number is more helpful since it improves the overall game experience (higher competence, flow, immersion), increases AvgHR% (the average heart rate percentage divided by the maximum heart rate), and enhances performance (improved players' combo performance and increased gesture success rate for particular gesture); (2) spectator feedback is instrumental in improving players' performance (higher gesture success rates, more combos performed successfully, more monster's combos prevented), enhancing game experience (positive affect, competence, flow, and immersion), and reducing negative game experience, increasing exertion (AvgHR% and burned more calories). Based on the results, we derived two main design recommendations for VR exergames that could pave the way for improving gameplay performance and game experience, especially among young adults.

“…The user can naturally interact with the VE using a pair of VR controllers, such as Oculus Touch, Vive or Valve Index controllers. In recent years, the use of Virtual Reality (VR) combined with computers and/or smartphones has gained much interest and is increasingly used in various applications (e.g., (Lu et al, 2022)), including improving individuals' creativity (e.g., (Bourgeois-Bougrine et al, 2022;Graessler & Taplick, 2019;Yang et al, 2018)). VR technology enables individuals to deal with real-life scenarios by increasing immersion feeling in interactive applications.…”

In recent years, the use of virtual reality (VR) has been a promising opportunity to improve the immersive experience in virtual environments. In this study, we explore the effectiveness of immersive VR experiences on an individual's creativity. To do this, we first identified the characteristics of VR that are closely related to creative performance. Considering these factors, we designed and implemented the interaction method and the three outdoor and indoor virtual environments (Wilderness, City Park, and Office). We evaluated the effectiveness of the virtual environments with 12 participants. The user study results show that outdoor and indoor immersive virtual experiences improved their creativity skills. We concluded by analysing how factors such as simulator sickness and perceived workload influence creativity levels. Moreover, our study showed the potentiality of using immersive virtual environments to enhance individuals’ creative performance.
