Abstract

In this paper a comparison of two implementations of the same game is presented: a VR (virtual reality) version and a traditional one, meaning with no VR hardware used. The implementations’ design - made specially for this research - is the result of the analysis of many state-of-the VR games. The comparison’s goal is to find the aspects of gameplay that impact user immersion in a video game. Each extracted aspect is covered by a question in a post experiment questionnaire and discussed before final conclusions are drawn.
