초록

본 연구에서는 다양한 장르를 가진 디지털 게임의 영역에서도 1인칭 시점에 머물러있는 가상현실 게임 콘텐츠들의 한계에 대해 선행연구와 사례를 통해 고찰하고, 이를 바탕으로 가상공간 게임에서의 시점(1인칭, 3인칭)과 햅틱 피드백이 가져다주는 게임의 몰입감과 현존감 및 재미의 차이를 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 실험 결과를 살펴보면 게임의 시점은 3인칭일 때보다 1인칭일 때, 햅틱 피드백이 제시될 때 몰입감과 현존감 및 재미가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 가상공간 환경과 게임 시점 간의 상호작용은 발견할 수 없었다. 이러한 결과로 가상공간 게임들은 1인칭을 시점으로 하여 햅틱 피드백을 사용하는 것이 적절하다고 할 수 있으나 게임 시점과 가상현실 환경이 무관한 점, 1인칭시점 게임보다는 3인칭이 더 인기를 끄는 점 등 을 빌어 가상공간에서의 3인칭시점 게임의 가능성을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the limitations of virtual space game contents staying in the first-person viewpoint in the field of digital games with various genres through precedent researches and case studies, and to investigate the differences of immersion, presence, and fun based on the user interfaces, such as the viewpoints (first-person, third-person) and haptic feedback. The experimental results show that when the game is the first-person with the haptic feedback, the immersion, presence, and fun increase. However, the interaction effect between the virtual space environment and the game viewpoint was not found. As a result, it is appropriate to use the haptic feedback and the first-person viewpoint in the virtual reality games, but the fact that the game viewpoints and the virtual space environment are not huge relevant, and the third-person viewpoint is more popular than first-person viewpoint game, therefore the possibility of a third-person viewpoint game would be suggested.
