  • The Impact of Co-Located Play on Social Presence and Game Experience in a VR Game
    The Impact of Co-Located Play on Social Presence and Game Experience in a VR Game Marcello A. Gómez Maureira LIACS, Leiden University Niels Bohrweg 1, Leiden, The Netherlands [email protected] Fons Verbeek LIACS, Leiden University Niels Bohrweg 1, Leiden, The Netherlands [email protected] ABSTRACT This exploratory case study looks at the scenario of virtual reality (VR) gaming in a so- cial setting. We raise the question whether game experience and social presence (measured through a questionnaire) are impacted by physically separating players versus co-located play. We asked 34 participants to play a two-player VR game using head mounted displays in which they shared a virtual environment. We compared two conditions: 1) playing in the same physical space, allowing direct communication between players and 2) playing in separated rooms, with communication via intercom. Our results indicate no differences between the two testing conditions. Based on this, we conclude that current VR technology can facilitate a multi-user game experience, played from separate locations, that is experi- enced as if it were played co-located. We see the outcome of the study as an encouragement for designers to involve social elements in online, multi-user VR games. Keywords virtual reality games, social gaming, multiplayer gaming, head mounted displays, player incorporation INTRODUCTION Digital games have spearheaded a wide range of technological advances, frequently fo- cusing on advancing visual aesthetics and novel interfaces as a way to immerse people in experiences that designers have crafted for them. One of the most recent trends in digital game technology is the use of virtual reality (VR) devices.

  • View the Manual
    Base game Manual V0.4 Environment Remove any objects in the playing area that you might touch or hit while playing with your body. Please also make sure that lamps or fans are not in the playing area. If you are at the edge of the playing area, do not make any big movements, otherwise you could touch the walls with your body or hands/controllers. It is best to stand. Step movements are not necessary during the game. You can move and rotate completely with the controllers. Technical requirements To play the game, you need Virtual Reality headset (VR headset). Without VR glasses, the game will not run. A (free) Steam account is also required. Also installed must be the VR software "SteamVR" (when using HTC VIVE or the Valve Index) or the additional software "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR" for the use of Windows Mixed Reality glasses on Steam with "SteamVR". Before the first launch, a room measuring should also have been done in SteamVR (when using the HTC VIVE or the Valve Index). When using Windows Mixed Reality glasses, there is an option to change the position of the floor from the height. The controllers of the VR headset should also be connected to the VR system and be charged. The game Container You start the game in the container and go to the selected construction site through the door. Later, you can start different locations here depending on the existing DLC. You can now set options to one of the boards by moving the switch accordingly.

  • Samsung Announces New Windows-Based Virtual-Reality Headset at Microsoft Event 4 October 2017, by Matt Day, the Seattle Times
    Samsung announces new Windows-based virtual-reality headset at Microsoft event 4 October 2017, by Matt Day, The Seattle Times Samsung is joining Microsoft's virtual reality push, Microsoft also said that it had acquired AltspaceVR, announcing an immersive headset that pairs with a California virtual reality software startup that was Windows computers. building social and communications tools until it ran into funding problems earlier this year. The Korean electronics giant unveiled its Samsung HMD Odyssey at a Microsoft event in San ©2017 The Seattle Times Francisco recently. It will sell for $499. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. The device joins Windows-based immersive headsets built by Lenovo, HP, Acer and Dell, and aimed for release later this year. Microsoft is among the companies seeking a slice of the emerging market for modern head-mounted devices. High-end headsets, like Facebook-owned Oculus's Rift and the HTC Vive, require powerful Windows PCs to run. Others, including the Samsung Gear VR and Google's Daydream, are aimed at the wider audience of people who use smartphones. Microsoft's vision, for now, is tied to the PC, and specifically new features in the Windows operating system designed to make it easier to build and display immersive environments. The company also has its own hardware, but that hasn't been on display recently. Microsoft's HoloLens was a trailblazer when it was unveiled in 2015. The headset, whose visor shows computer-generated images projected onto objects in the wearer's environment without obscuring the view of the real world completely, was subsequently offered for sale to developers and businesses.

  • Virtual Reality Headsets
    VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSETS LILY CHIANG VR HISTORY • Many companies (Virtuality, Sega, Atari, Sony) jumped on the VR hype in the 1990s; but commercialization flopped because both hardware and software failed to deliver on the promised VR vision. • Any use of the VR devices in the 2000s was limited to the military, aviation, and medical industry for simulation and training. • VR hype resurged after Oculus successful KickStarter campaign; subsequently acquired by Facebook for $2.4 bn. • Investments rushed into the VR industry as major tech firms such as Google, Samsung, and Microsoft and prominent VC firms bet big on the VR revolution.

  • Exploring How Bi-Directional Augmented Reality Gaze Visualisation Influences Co-Located Symmetric Collaboration
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 14 June 2021 doi: 10.3389/frvir.2021.697367 Eye See What You See: Exploring How Bi-Directional Augmented Reality Gaze Visualisation Influences Co-Located Symmetric Collaboration Allison Jing*, Kieran May, Gun Lee and Mark Billinghurst Empathic Computing Lab, Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environment, STEM, The University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, SA, Australia Gaze is one of the predominant communication cues and can provide valuable implicit information such as intention or focus when performing collaborative tasks. However, little research has been done on how virtual gaze cues combining spatial and temporal characteristics impact real-life physical tasks during face to face collaboration. In this study, we explore the effect of showing joint gaze interaction in an Augmented Reality (AR) interface by evaluating three bi-directional collaborative (BDC) gaze visualisations with three levels of gaze behaviours. Using three independent tasks, we found that all bi- directional collaborative BDC visualisations are rated significantly better at representing Edited by: joint attention and user intention compared to a non-collaborative (NC) condition, and Parinya Punpongsanon, hence are considered more engaging.

    Immersive virtual reality methods in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology: Meeting the criteria of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology Panagiotis Kourtesisa,b,c,d* and Sarah E. MacPhersone,f aNational Research Institute of Computer Science and Automation, INRIA, Rennes, France; bUniv Rennes, Rennes, France; cResearch Institute of Computer Science and Random Systems, IRISA, Rennes, France; dFrench National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS, Rennes, France. eHuman Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; fDepartment of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; * Panagiotis Kourtesis, National Research Institute of Computer Science and Automation, INRIA, Rennes, France. Email: [email protected] Abstract Clinical tools involving immersive virtual reality (VR) may bring several advantages to cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. However, there are some technical and methodological pitfalls. The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) and the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) raised 8 key issues pertaining to Computerized Neuropsychological Assessment Devices. These issues pertain to: (1) the safety and effectivity; (2) the identity of the end-user; (3) the technical hardware and software features; (4) privacy and data security; (5) the psychometric properties; (6) examinee issues; (7) the use of reporting services; and (8) the reliability of the responses and results. The VR Everyday Assessment Lab (VR-EAL) is the first immersive VR neuropsychological battery with enhanced ecological validity for the assessment of everyday cognitive functions by offering a pleasant testing experience without inducing cybersickness. The VR-EAL meets the criteria of the NAN and AACN, addresses the methodological pitfalls, and brings advantages for neuropsychological testing.
