Abstract

As virtual reality technology has gained popularity from people, various contents have appeared. Virtual reality game making good use of virtual reality device has received lots of attention from users and market. A number of virtual reality games have been developed. Virtual reality game allows users to feel presence and flow to be maximized through virtual reality device. A user can interact with several items through interface of device in display environment of virtual reality. This study was find a way to arouse an interest and induce users to be immersed in virtual reality game by maximizing above mentioned characteristics. This study was analyze interaction items in popular virtual reality game and interface design methods before presenting design methods. This study was make a comparative analysis of interface design methods centering on virtual reality game cases and examine a link between interface and interaction items. Through this study, it is expected that this will be a prior study that will be the basis for designing interfaces for virtual reality games that are more presence.

최근 가상현실 기술이 대중들에게 인기와 관심을 가지기 시작하면서 다양한 콘텐츠가 등장하고 있다. 특히 가상현실 디바이스를 활용한 가상현실 게임이 사용자와 시장에서 많은 관심을 받고 있으며 가상현실 게임이 많이 개발되고 있는 추세이다. 가상현실 게임의 특징은 가상현실 디바이스를 통해 현존감을 느끼며 몰입감을 극대화 시킬 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 장점을 활용하여 가상현실의 공간형 디스플레이 환경에서 디바이스의 인터페이스를 통해 여러 상호작용 아이템과의 상호작용을 할 수 있어 현존감 있는 경험이 가능하다. 이러한 특징을 극대화하여 사용자에게 보다 높은 몰입감과 흥미를 발생 할 수 있는 방안을 연구 하고자 한다. 설계 방안을 제시하기에 앞서 대중화된 가상현실 게임내의 상호작용 아이템과 인터페이스 설계방식을 분석하여 몰입감을 증대 시킬 수 있는 방안을 찾는 것이 본 연구에 목적이다. 연구에서 게임의 인터페이스와 상호작용 아이템간의 관계를 정리하였고 이를 기반으로 가상현실 게임 사례를 들어 가상현실 게임 내의 아이템 인터페이스의 설계 방식을 비교 분석하는 연구를 진행하였다. 연구를 통해 보다 몰입감이 높은 가상현실 게임의 인터페이스 설계 방안의 기반이 되는 선행연구가 될 것으로 기대한다.
