“…In future work, we aim to systematically examine further design options (e.g. HUDs, freehand interaction) at different degrees of contextualization and embeddedness as previous work showed for games [53,169] and VR [52,198].…”

Questionnaires are among the most common research tools in virtual reality (VR) user studies. Transitioning from virtuality to reality for giving self-reports on VR experiences can lead to systematic biases. VR allows to embed questionnaires into the virtual environment which may ease participation and avoid biases. To provide a cohesive picture of methods and design choices for questionnaires in VR (INVRQ), we discuss 15 INVRQ studies from the literature and present a survey with 67 VR experts from academia and industry. Based on the outcomes, we conducted two user studies in which we tested different presentation and interaction methods of INVRQS and evaluated the usability and practicality of our design. We observed comparable completion times between INVRQS and questionnaires outside VR (OUTVRQS) with higher enjoyment but lower usability for INVRQS. These findings advocate the application of INVRQS and provide an overview of methods and considerations that lay the groundwork for INVRQ design.

“…5a). Like Schwind et al[159], we performed a t-test to compare the variances of both conditions on all IPQ subscales; the differences were not significant (GP var : t 37 =- 52,. p=.60, SP var : t 37 =-.05, p=.96, INV var : t 37 =1.47, p=.15 REAL var : t 37 =.17, p=.87).…”

“…On the other hand, participants that did not play the interactive tutorial found the game more awkward [84]. Frommel et al found that in a VR game, players taught more interactively had higher positive emotions and higher motivation [30].…”

Exploring Help Facilities in Game-Making Software

Help facilities have been crucial in helping users learn about software for decades. But despite widespread prevalence of game engines and game editors that ship with many of today's most popular games, there is a lack of empirical evidence on how help facilities impact game-making. For instance, certain types of help facilities may help users more than others. To better understand help facilities, we created game-making software that allowed us to systematically vary the type of help available. We then ran a study of 1646 participants that compared six help facility conditions: 1) Text Help, 2) Interactive Help, 3) Intelligent Agent Help, 4) Video Help, 5) All Help, and 6) No Help. Each participant created their own first-person shooter game level using our game-making software with a randomly assigned help facility condition. Results indicate that Interactive Help has a greater positive impact on time spent, controls learnability, learning motivation, total editor activity, and game level quality. Video Help is a close second across these same measures. CCS CONCEPTS • Applied computing → Computer games; • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in HCI.

“…Malgré leur omniprésence dans le domaine vidéoludique, les tutoriels n'ont effectivement été qu'assez peu pris pour objet de recherche à ce jour. Les quelques travaux s'y intéressant relèvent le plus souvent des sciences du design et adoptent un point de vue prescriptif en tentant de déterminer ce que serait un « bon » tutoriel, un tutoriel « efficace » ou « immersif », ou encore en cherchant un moyen de se débarrasser de ce dispositif dans les jeux (voir entre autres Schell, 2008et Koster, 2013, ou, dans le domaine spécifique de la réalité virtuelle : Raffaele, de Carvalho et Silva, 2017 ;Frommel et al, 2017 ;Morin et al, 2016 ;Andersen et al, 2012). Les sciences de l'éducation portent aussi un intérêt aux stratégies tutorielles du jeu vidéo et à leur possible adaptation en contexte d'apprentissage (pour un aperçu, voir Steinkuehler et al, 2012), tandis que d'autres textes abordent le sujet dans une perspective historique (comme chez Therrien et Julien 2015, qui retracent l'apparition des systèmes d'assistance dans les jeux et leur évolution).…”
