“…In this A/B comparison, participants watched two variants of an interactive movie on the virtual reality hardware Oculus Rift, either with or without sound feedback as rewarding indicator for successful interactions. The authors had hypothesized that auditory feedback would increase the perception of effectance and had to reject this assumption (Vosmeer, Roth, and Schouten, 2015). Instead, interactors rated presence significantly lower as the sounds hampered their feeling of immersion.…”

In recent years, game narrative has emerged as an area for novel game concepts and as a strategy to distinguish a particular title. However, innovation in this area comes primarily from indie companies and individual efforts by noted designers. There is a lack of trained specialists ready to produce interactive narrative experiences. Many existing practitioners are self-trained and often rely on intuition in their design practice. A key element missing from the effort towards a more sustained development and improved professional training is a set of design conventions that fulfill a role comparable to cinematic conventions like continuity editing or montage. Therefore, our research focuses on identifying, verifying and collecting such design strategies. We describe an empirical method to verify candidate design conventions through the evaluation of user reaction to A/B prototypes, which improves upon the trial-and-error process of old.

“…The current study is part of a research program at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences titled Storytelling for 360° Media. Through this project we explore the new technological tools or creative strategies that VR producers use to tell their story to their audience (Vosmeer and Schouten, 2014;Vosmeer, Roth and Schouten, 2015;Vosmeer and Schouten, 2017;Vosmeer, Roth and Koenitz, 2017). An important measure that can be used to determine the usefulness or effectiveness of separate tools or strategies is presence.…”

“…In order to not disrupt the immersive experience that VR offers and thus optimize the 'illusion of non-mediation', interface design for VR should be as non-intrusive as possible. For instance, the display of non-diegetic information within the VR scene or feedback about interaction should be avoided (Vosmeer, Roth and Schouten, 2015).…”

In this paper, we present a case study for Circus Noel, a tight rope walking act in which the use of movement in VR was explored. We utilized Ryan's immersion dimensions and Norman's guide for natural interfaces to test the immersion of feet movement in VR. Seven users were interviewed on the dimensions of immersion; their responses were coded using the Ryan's dimensions. The results of this case study show that the spatial dimension exists automatically in VR. Our findings also show that the 'illusion of non-mediation' may be a useful concept to further explore the ways to measure, evaluate and validate VR.

“…Yet, many existing cinematic practices seem to be no longer applicable, and therefore researchers from both academic and industrial backgrounds are busy exploring the basic demands of VR production. When it comes to user experience, we have only just begun to study the ways in which users (or patients, or clients, or customers) may indeed be affected by a message they encounter in an engrossing environment, instead of observing it through the established fourth wall of movie watching [5,6,7,8,9]. It is becoming clear that there are many fundamental knowledge gaps that still need to be filled in this domain, not only about the production of surround video content, but also about the way how the resulting products may be enjoyed by various audiences.…”

With the renewed interest in VR, new questions arise for content creators, as existing cinematic practices cannot simply be transferred. In this paper, we describe two experiments investigating which voice-over perspective elicits the best sense of presence for viewers of cinematic VR content. For the first experiment different voice-over narrations in first, second and third person perspectives were added to a VR video. This test showed that viewers preferred the voice-over in second person perspective, as this provided them with the strongest sense of presence and a feeling of 'being in the story'. In the second experiment, we used a short 360° documentary with a first person voice-over perspective, and compared it to a version of the same documentary with a second person voice-over, using a quantitative survey. In this experiment, however, no significant difference was found between the two groups of respondents. In our discussion, we explore several possible reasons that may have contributed to this outcome.
