“…Our findings suggest that the majority of the participants experienced altered time perception during the experiment, with the majority strongly agreeing that time seemed to flow differently than usual for them and that they lost the sense of time while in gameplay. This is consistent with previous research on time perception in VR, which has demonstrated that the sense of time passing can be significantly influenced by the level of immersion and engagement with the virtual environment (Mullen and Davidenko, 2021 ; Read et al, 2022 ). The VR environment used in our study was a highly-rated videogame known for its immersive qualities.…”

“…Being able to track time perception objectively in real time could be extremely useful for immersive experiences. While time compression has been linked with high levels of engagement and attentional resources (Read et al, 2022 ), time elongation could also be linked to boredom (Igarzábal et al, 2021 ). As such, time perception monitoring could be extremely useful for user experience assessment.…”

We have all experienced the sense of time slowing down when we are bored or speeding up when we are focused, engaged, or excited about a task. In virtual reality (VR), perception of time can be a key aspect related to flow, immersion, engagement, and ultimately, to overall quality of experience. While several studies have explored changes in time perception using questionnaires, limited studies have attempted to characterize them objectively. In this paper, we propose the use of a multimodal biosensor-embedded VR headset capable of measuring electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), and head movement data while the user is immersed in a virtual environment. Eight gamers were recruited to play a commercial action game comprised of puzzle-solving tasks and first-person shooting and combat. After gameplay, ratings were given across multiple dimensions, including (1) the perception of time flowing differently than usual and (2) the gamers losing sense of time. Several features were extracted from the biosignals, ranked based on a two-step feature selection procedure, and then mapped to a predicted time perception rating using a Gaussian process regressor. Top features were found to come from the four signal modalities and the two regressors, one for each time perception scale, were shown to achieve results significantly better than chance. An in-depth analysis of the top features is presented with the hope that the insights can be used to inform the design of more engaging and immersive VR experiences.

Augmented Reality 3D head-up displays use a autostereoscopic 3D display as a panel. The 3D optical unit of autostereoscopic 3D displays controls the direction of the light rays in each pixel, allowing the users enjoy 3D world without glasses. However, these 3D optics cause image quality degradation. Deterioration of resolution has a serious impact on 3D image quality. Therefore, it is important to properly measure the 3D resolution according to 3D optics and analyze its impact. In this study, a method for measuring spatial resolution in 3D displays using contrast modulation is proposed. We describe a conventional 2D resolution measurement methods that are standardized. Based on the existing 2D resolution methods, we propose a 3D resolution method. The spatial and frequency signal responses of 3D displays were investigated. The first method is determined by the predominant frequency series. The second method is conducted by contrast modulation. Through experiments with 3D displays, 3D resolution was measured using the proposed method, and the relationship between the parameters and resolution of 3D optics was examined.
