“…Previous academic research into the relationship between navigation speed and motion sickness in VR has observed a stabilization of nausea ratings at high speeds, but not a drop of the kind that would naturally lead to this conclusion [13]. Other research has simply concluded that infinite velocity techniques (teleportation) cause less discomfort [8].…”

PlayStation VR has quickly built up a significant userbase of over a million headsets and its own ecosystem of games across a variety of genres. These games form part of a rapidly evolving testing ground for design solutions which can usefully inform HCI design for virtual reality. This paper reviews every PlayStation VR title released in the first three months of its lifecycle in order to identify emerging themes for locomotion. These themes are discussed with respect to the lessons learned as part of the on-going development of an Environmental Narrative game for PlayStation VR as part of the Horizon 2020 REVEAL project.

“…According to the results of the study's performance measurement, the gamepad-based approach seemed to be faster and more comfortable to operate within the context of a simple path following task (Cardoso 2016). Medeiros et al (2016) investigated the effects of speed and transition on target-based travel techniques in VR. Implementing and evaluating three travel techniques (teleportation, linear motion, and animated teleport box) in regard to travel time, speed, and transitions, they conclude that infinite velocity techniques (teleportation) cause less discomfort, and that cybersickness and performance are not significantly impacted by the addition of transition effects to these kinds of techniques (Medeiros et al 2016).…”

“…Following a target-based travel approach (Medeiros et al 2016), the user has the ability to move between and explore the nodes in the three-dimensional space, while explicitly linking the user's position to one node at all times, allowing easy identification of the current (data) item of interest.…”

In this article, we compare three different input technologies (gamepad, vision-based motion controls, room-scale) for an interactive virtual reality (VR) environment. The overall system is able to visualize (open) data from multiple online sources in a unified interface, enabling the user to browse and explore displayed information in an immersive VR setting. We conducted a user interaction study (n = 24 ; n = 8 per input technology, between-group design) to investigate experienced workload and perceived flow of interaction. Log files and observations allowed further insights and comparison of each condition. We have identified trends that indicate user preference of a visual (virtual) representation, but no clear trends regarding the application of physical controllers (over vision-based controls), in a scenario that encouraged exploration with no time limitations.

“…GEtiT VR utilizes the same GMs as GEtiT but realizes them in a diegetic way [67] to increase the system's naturalness, presence, and usability [68,69]. Naturalness refers to the degree with which actions and effects in a VE correspond to the actions and effects in the real world [70].…”

Affine Transformations (ATs) are a complex and abstract learning content. Encoding the AT knowledge in Game Mechanics (GMs) achieves a repetitive knowledge application and audiovisual demonstration. Playing a serious game providing these GMs leads to motivating and effective knowledge learning. Using immersive Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to even further increase the serious game’s learning outcome and learning quality. This paper compares the effectiveness and efficiency of desktop-3D and VR in respect to the achieved learning outcome. Also, the present study analyzes the effectiveness of an enhanced audiovisual knowledge encoding and the provision of a debriefing system. The results validate the effectiveness of the knowledge encoding in GMs to achieve knowledge learning. The study also indicates that VR is beneficial for the overall learning quality and that an enhanced audiovisual encoding has only a limited effect on the learning outcome.
