Abstract

Advances in IT technologies are developing VR content technologies that provide five senses information to users and interact with them. These VR content technologies are widely used by users not only for time and space limitations but also for providing immersion experiences. VR contents are contents that allow users to experience images that are played on the screen through five senses such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and holograms as well as visuals. VR games are also becoming more diverse in interfaces for the interaction of users with VR games. This study recognized the importance of the interface and analyzed the impact of the application characteristics of VR game UI on user experience and satisfaction from the user perspective. Research shows that VR game UI interacts with user experience and satisfaction. This appears to affect user experience based on how well people using VR game UI can understand and utilize the characteristics and functions of UI.

IT 기술의 발달로 사용자에게 오감 정보를 제공하고 상호작용하는 VR 콘텐츠 기술이 발전하고 있다. 이러한 VR 콘텐츠 기술은 시간과 공간의 제약이 없을 뿐 아니라 몰입 경험을 제공함으로 사용자들에게 널리 사용되고 있다. VR 콘텐츠란 네트워크의 진화에 따른 콘텐츠 중 하나로 화면에 재생되는 영상을 시각뿐만 아니라 증강현실, 가상현실, 홀로그램 등 오감을 통해 경험할 수 있도록 만들어주는 콘텐츠이다. VR 게임은 사용자와 VR 게임의 상호작용을 위한 인터페이스도 다양해지고 있다. 본 연구는 인터페이스의 중요성에 대해 인식하고 사용자 관점에서 VR 게임 UI의 어포던스 특성이 사용자 경험과 만족에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과 VR 게임 UI는 사용자 경험과 만족에 상호작용하는 것으로 나타난다. 이는 VR 게임 UI를 사용하는 사람들이 UI의 특성과 기능을 얼마나 잘 이해하고 활용할 수 있는지에 따른 사용자 경험에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난다.
