Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) multiplayer games increasingly use asymmetry (e.g., differences in a person’s capability or the user interface) and resulting interdependence between players to create engagement even when one player has no access to a head-mounted display (HMD). Previous work shows this enhances player experience (PX). Until now, it remains unclear whether and how an asymmetric game design with interdependences creates comparably enjoyable PX for both an HMD and a non-HMD player. In this work, we designed and implemented an asymmetric VR game (different in its user interface) with two types of interdependence: strategic (difference in game information/player capability) and biometric (difference in player’s biometric influence). Our mixed-methods user study (N=30) shows that asymmetries positively impact PX for both player roles, that interdependence strongly affects players’ perception of agency, and that biometric feedback—while subjective—is a valuable game mechanic.

Player Experience in a VR and Non-VR Multiplayer Game
VRIC '18: Proceedings of the Virtual Reality International Conference - Laval Virtual

Several studies compared the player experience of Virtual Reality (VR) games and non-VR games. However, there is a lack of research on the specific subject of VR and non-VR multiplayer games. Therefore, this work explores how implementing a multiplayer ...
A New Approach to Multiplayer Virtual Reality Games
ICMAI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 4th International Conference on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence

Virtual reality (VR) games represent a new world for players and game developers alike. As developers continue to work in this field, they continually look for new ways to immerse players in the VR gaming world. Plenty of challenges arise in the effort ...
Understanding Enjoyment in VR Games with GameFlow
VRST '19: Proceedings of the 25th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology

In this paper, we report on a work in progress project that aims to understand affordances and inhibiters of enjoyment in virtual reality (VR) video games. We apply the GameFlow model to review and analyse VR and non-VR versions of the same games to ...
