Designed to Thrill: Exploring the Effects of Multimodal Feedback on Virtual World Immersion (original) (raw)

Abstract

The following paper presents research into the effects of multi-and uni-modal output on virtual immersion. It describes the implementation of a balanced experimental study designed to measure participant immersion in a variety of conditions and presents the resulting findings. These demonstrate the potential of primary and secondary modalities on the perception of the participants. The findings of the study can form part of the basis for a set of HCI guidelines for the creation of highly immersive digital experiences.
