Effects of content variety and tracking level on user presence
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- A large sample, mixed design experiment explored the effects of tracking level and content variance on user presence. One hundred and ninety two participants experienced the same piece of virtual reality content—either CG content or spherical video—in 3 (rotation only) and 6 (rotation and translation) degrees of freedom. Each participant was also asked to respond to 5 randomized levels of external haptic stimuli during their period of immersion, designed to test the validity of measuring psychological presence as absence from the physical world. Higher levels of tracking (degrees of freedom 6) and CG content induced more presence than degrees of freedom 3 or spherical video, and participants were more distracted in degrees of freedom 6 and 3 than in the control condition. This inaugural work provides a foundation for future large-scale exploration of the relationship between tracking level, content type, and immersion.
