“…Several studies suggested that the sense of presence affects the user experience in a virtual environment (Ferrer-García et al, 2010;Sylaiou et al, 2010;Ling et al, 2014;Brade et al, 2017). In previous studies, the sense of presence is related to the induction of fear in phobic participants.…”

The development of new technologies, and more specifically the opportunity to immerse participants in virtual controlled environments, provides a new ecological framework for researchers to study complex behaviors. This experiment aimed to compare post-immersion craving in occasional and heavy alcohol drinkers. Twenty-two occasional drinkers and eighteen heavy drinkers were recruited and immersed in a virtual bar, including alcoholic beverages. After the exposure, heavy drinkers reported a significantly higher craving than occasional drinkers. Post-immersion alcohol craving was significantly related to the levels of perceived ecological validity of the virtual environment. Finally, a moderation analysis suggested that the levels of craving more strongly increased with perceived ecological validity in heavy drinkers than in occasional drinkers. Therefore, the perceived ecological validity was an important experimental parameter to study craving in a virtual environment. These results further suggested that virtual reality might be a useful tool for both the scientific study of alcohol addiction and the treatment of alcohol dependence and relapse.

“…The surveys delivered were using the System Usability Scale (SUS) [5], translated and validated for the Portuguese language [6], and the Net Promoter Score (NPS) [7]. Our rationale for using these surveys is that they were used also with new mobile technologies [8][9][10]. The SUS and the NPS make it possible to gather personal feedback on system's quality, and in order to use that feedback for comprehending how the system compares to other alternatives and to identify areas of improvement.…”

In this poster, we are addressing the topic of "system's evaluation" from the point of view of assessing the usability of a gamified experience with 20 teenagers aged 15-17 years. The currently tested experience was ideally designed for children 9-10 years. In order to adapt the application to teenagers, we tested it with 20 targeted users. In this poster, we share the results and encourage a discussion among the researchers about how to adapt the gamified experience designed for children to a teenage audience.

“…Among others, semantic qualities affecting the memorability of virtual environments are known landmarks [57], which relate to the mental maps [35,47] created by the VE users. Memorability and memory tests have been used as one measurable aspect in assessing the level of presence in virtual environments [9]. When people navigate a new environment, their prior experience affects how they perceive, comprehend, or retain the new information.…”

Realistic 3D virtual environments, such as existing city models, have the potential to be used in pervasive games as a passageway between physical and virtual. Smooth attention displacement and transitions between these two realities are largely unexplored in the context of pervasive gameplay. We conducted two field trials using a pervasive live action role playing game to study the effect moving between the virtual and the physical has on co-presence and memorability. Although differences in co-presence during gameplay were small, they highlight the subtleties in the social structuring of pervasive gameplay. Spatial similarity between the physical and virtual environments made the 3D virtual environments more memorable. We identify two important issues to consider in embedding virtual environments into pervasive games: structuring of social interactions and the spatial realism of the VEs.
