Abstract:

VR can provide immersive user experiences, creating value in entertainment and productivity. Despite the advancement of hardware technology, design philosophies oriented around flat-screen user experiences are still the most prevalent in the currently available consumer VR software products (games or non-game alike). This research aims to explore proprioception-oriented user experiences that can better utilize the digital spatial space enabled by commercial-grade VR equipment. The research is conducted through a VR digital game, and tester feedback and gameplay data will be collected to form insights for designing proprioceptive user interactions that are unique to VR.
