“…Teleportation enables navigation exceeding the boundaries of the VR play area and delivers highlevel immersion, a pleasant user experience, and decreases the frequency of VRISE. Typically, a navigation system of a VR software which depends on a touchpad, keyboard, or joystick, substantially increasing the frequency and intensity of VRISE (Bozgeyikli et al, 2016;Frommel et al, 2017;Porcino et al, 2017). In VR-EAL, a combination of teleportation and physical movement (i.e., free movement of the upper limbs and walking in a small-restricted area) is used (see Figures 1-3, 6).…”

Virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMD) appear to be effective research tools, which may address the problem of ecological validity in neuropsychological testing. However, their widespread implementation is hindered by VR induced symptoms and effects (VRISE) and the lack of skills in VR software development. This study offers guidelines for the development of VR software in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, by describing and discussing the stages of the development of Virtual Reality Everyday Assessment Lab (VR-EAL), the first neuropsychological battery in immersive VR. Techniques for evaluating cognitive functions within a realistic storyline are discussed. The utility of various assets in Unity, software development kits, and other software are described so that cognitive scientists can overcome challenges pertinent to VRISE and the quality of the VR software. In addition, this pilot study attempts to evaluate VR-EAL in accordance with the necessary criteria for VR software for research purposes. The VR neuroscience questionnaire (VRNQ; Kourtesis et al., 2019b) was implemented to appraise the quality of the three versions of VR-EAL in terms of user experience, game mechanics, in-game assistance, and VRISE. Twenty-five participants aged between 20 and 45 years with 12-16 years of full-time education evaluated various versions of VR-EAL. The final version of VR-EAL achieved high scores in every sub-score of the VRNQ and exceeded its parsimonious cut-offs. It also appeared to have better in-game assistance and game mechanics, while its improved graphics substantially Kourtesis et al. VR Research Software Development increased the quality of the user experience and almost eradicated VRISE. The results substantially support the feasibility of the development of effective VR research and clinical software without the presence of VRISE during a 60-min VR session.

“…For example, the E 2 I Questionnaire has been adopted in studies that emphasized the role that enjoyment has in presence (Lin et al, 2002). Following the same rationale, Frommel et al (2017) explored enjoyment as a vital part of the VE, including enjoyment items in a modified version of the PQ questionnaire. Similarly, there are other studies that considered more specific measures of what is referred to as "spatial presence" (MEC-SPQ; Vorderer et al, 2004).…”

Questionnaire Measures and Physiological Correlates of Presence: A Systematic Review

2020

The published literature has produced several definitions for the sense of presence in a simulated environment, as well as various methods for measuring it. The variety of conceptualizations makes it difficult for researchers to interpret, compare, and evaluate the presence ratings obtained from individual studies. Presence has been measured by employing questionnaires, physiological indices, behavioral feedbacks, and interviews. A systematic literature review was conducted to provide insight into the definitions and measurements of presence in studies from 2002 to 2019, with a focus on questionnaires and physiological measures. The review showed that scholars had introduced various definitions of presence that often originate from different theoretical standpoints and that this has produced a multitude of different questionnaires that aim to measure presence. At the same time, physiological studies that investigate the physiological correlates of the sense of presence have often shown ambiguous results or have not been replicated. Most of the scholars have preferred the use of questionnaires, with Witmer and Singer's Presence Questionnaire being the most prevalent. Among the physiological measures, electroencephalography was the most frequently used. The conclusions of the present review aim to stimulate future structured efforts to standardize the use of the construct of presence, as well as inspire the replication of the findings reported in the published literature.

“…Other solutions implement motion in software, either by teleporting the user on their command or by guided motion, as if fixed on a track. Of these, the teleportation, both free and to fixed points, imparts significantly fewer feelings of motion sickness on the user, in addition to being fast and easy to operate [10].…”

The Cyberinfrastructure Security Education for Professionals and Students (CiSE-ProS) virtual reality environment is an exploratory project that uses engaging approaches to evaluate the impact of learning environments produced by augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies for teaching cybersecurity concepts. The program is steeped in well-reviewed pedagogy; the refinement of the educational methods based on constant assessment is a critical factor that has contributed to its success. In its current implementation, the program supports undergraduate student education. The overarching goal is to develop the CiSE-ProS VR program for implementation at institutions with low cyberinfrastructure adoption where students may not have access to a physical data center to learn about the physical aspects of cybersecurity.
