- Who You Are is What You Tell: Effects of Perspectives on Virtual Reality Story Experiences

Description:
Virtual reality (VR) stories provide an immersive and interactive medium to present narrative content. While it provides an immersive way to present the content, it is challenging to present the story in a way that matches the intention of the producer. There are several aspects of the VR environment that may affect the way the viewer experiences and perceives the content including the inhabited character by the viewer, the available interactive objects, areas of interest in the scene and their salience to receive attention. This presented demonstration is part of a project where we are investigating the ways a VR story can be presented—in other words, how the VR environment can be designed—to provide affordances that will help the viewer to perceive the story as intended by the producer, without explicitly guiding the viewer for particular interactions.
