Motion as a Determinant of Presence in Immersive Virtual Reality

Virtual reality: A review and a new framework for integrated adoption

“…As Dilanchian (2019) points out, despite the advancements in VR technology, there remains a considerable disparity in its accessibility and use among different consumer segments. This divide is not just a matter of technological access, but also involves disparities in digital literacy, socioeconomic barriers, and cultural factors (Dilanchian, 2019). These disparities can exacerbate existing inequalities, limiting the potential benefits of VR to a privileged few.…”

“…In response to these challenges, there is a growing call for research and development focused on making VR technology more accessible and inclusive. As argued by Dilanchian (2019) and supported by others like Mott et al (2019), the focus needs to shift toward designing VR experiences that are technologically advanced and user-oriented. This involves considering factors like affordability, ease of use, cultural relevance, and educational value, thereby promoting social inclusion and mitigating the digital divide.…”

“…However, for consumers to capitalize on the benefits of VR and reduce the digital divide that may be present with broader adoption of VR (i.e., the gap between individuals accessing and using modern technologies leading to discrepancies in opportunity and increasing inequality), it is critical to understand the drivers of adoption (Dijk, 2020). By investigating the drivers of VR adoption, it is possible to design user-oriented and relevant VR experiences that promote social inclusion and reduce the digital divide (Dilanchian, 2019). With a growing body of research focusing on the determinants of VR adoption, this is an opportune time to synthesize the literature and provide a holistic examination of the drivers of consumer VR adoption.…”

“…Our first objective explores the scholarly discourse on how consumers view and interact with VR technology. This exploration is crucial in light of the varying perspectives presented in this area (e. g., Abbas et al, 2023;Burke, 2018;Dibbern et al, 2018;Dilanchian, 2019). By examining these perspectives, we aim to enrich our understanding of VR's impact on user experience and expectations, thus bridging the gap between VR's theoretical potential and practical usage.…”
