Abstract

This study aimed to address whether the varying degree of screen speed in the context of a Virtual reality exergame will interact with users' intrinsic motivation in influencing user perceptions. Results from our experiment (N = 40), showed that screen speed and intrinsic motivation have significantly interacted in influencing players' feeling of flow, attitude, and intention to replay the game (i.e., the 7km/h and 9km/h speeds have induced more favorable user perceptions than the 5km/h speed). Further implications of the findings are discussed.

최근 가상현실 운동게임이 큰 주목을 받고 있다는 점에 기반하여, 본 연구는 가상현실 운동게임 내 다양한 디자인 요소 중에서 화면 속도 변화가 게임 사용자의 경험에 미치는 영향을 측정했다. 40명을 대상으로 가상현실 걷기 콘텐츠 내 화면 속도의 빠르기 변화에 따른 사용자 경험 변화를 반복측정실험한 결과, 운동에 대한 내재적 동기를 통계적으로 통제할 경우 플로우, 태도 및 게임 재사용 의도가 5km/h 화면 속도와 비교하여 7km/h와 9km/h 화면 속도에서 유의미하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 가상현실 운동게임 내 화면 속도의 변화에 따른 사용자 경험이 게임 사용자의 운동에 대한 내재적 동기 수준에 따라 조절될 수 있음을 설명하며, 이는 가상현실 운동게임 콘텐츠의 디자인을 효과적으로 만들기 위한 시사점을 제시한다.
