“…The distribution of the studies per rank is illustrated in Figure 2. As can be seen, there are no studies that achieved Grade A, and only a small fraction achieved Grade B ( [50] for Spatial Presence, [55] for Involvement, and [55], [61] for Experienced Realism -all general purpose studies) and the majority of the studies were graded as F, meaning that it is desirable that they are further improved. This may suggest that, currently, VR experiences can potentially deliver an experience of realism and involve users.…”

Presence is often used to evaluate Virtual Reality (VR) applications. However, the raw scores are hard to interpret and need to be compared to other data to be meaningful. This paper leverages a database of 1909 responses to the Igroup Presence Questionnaire (IPQ) in different contexts to put forward a scale that qualitatively interprets raw Presence scores for VR experiences. The qualitative grading encompasses the acceptability dimension and analogous academic grading scales ranging from A to F and the adjective of such scores in a scale from Excellent to Unacceptable. Furthermore, the qualitative grading system encompasses Presence and its subscales Spatial Presence, Involvement, and Experienced Realism as defined by the IPQ. Adopting this grading system, supported by a robust dataset of Presence scores, enables practitioners to evaluate and interpret individual IPQ scores, allowing them to gain insights regarding the evaluated applications' effectiveness.

“…The complex relation between presence and cybersickness is difficult to understand. There are various studies [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] that model the relation between the presence and cybersickness in a VR environment [7]. In general, the presence and cybersickness have an inverse relationship.…”

“…In [11], the presence and cybersickness are shown to be related to the dynamic FoV, where the restriction of dynamic FoV can reduce the cybersickness and improve the presence in a VR environment. In [13], a study on the relationship between presence and cybersickness experienced by the user's in a virtual environment and the corresponding real environments show that the users perceive a positive correlation for both presence and cybersickness between the two environments. Subjective assessment of presence and cybersickness can be carried out by using the presence and sickness questionnaire [18,19].…”

Recent improvements in technology have increased the consumption of virtual reality (VR) contents on immersive displays. The VR experience depends on the type of displays as well as the quality of VR contents. However, research on the impacts of VR content quality on VR experience and comparisons among different types of immersive display devices are lacking. In this study, VR contents created with our VR framework, are provided to participants on conventional two-dimensional (2D) immersive displays and VR headset. The geometric alignment of VR contents is improved with the addition of two calibration modes (i.e. preprocessing and straightening). The subjective feelings of presence and cybersickness experienced by participants while consuming VR contents created by our framework and commercial solutions are recorded in the form of questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that the improvements in VR quality lead to a better presence and less cybersickness in both conventional 2D displays and VR headset. Furthermore, the level of presence and cybersickness increases in VR headsets as compared to conventional 2D displays. Finally, the VR content quality improvements lead to a better VR experience for our VR framework as compared to commercial solutions.

“…The next possible solution was to develop a tolerance and encourage habituation to cybersickness-inducing stimuli through shortened repeated training or playing three-dimensional video games with forward movement. 37,38 Furthermore, making hardware and software more user-friendly for cybersickness participants was another solution, such as designing virtual content focused around the center to decrease unnecessary eye movements [39][40][41] and allowing participants to anticipate their movement. 41 Some participants thought that we could optimize the process and add details; for example, some efforts will be needed to improve and optimize the experience of the VR isolation ward, including slowing down the process of scene switching, providing a communication platform, disclosing more specific details, and setting up test questions.…”

Healthcare providers without working experience in isolation wards experience enormous challenges. Traditional ward orientation is constrained by space, time, and even infection risk in particular periods (eg, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic). Virtual reality has been used widely, but rarely in wards. This study aimed to explore the experience of utilizing virtual reality for isolation ward training among nurses. In this study, nurses completed virtual reality training via an online platform and were then trained in isolation wards, after which their perceptions were explored by questionnaire and interviews. A total of 1868 participants completed the training. Most participants thought the preservice training was important and believed the virtual reality experience was consistent with the in-person training. Virtual reality was found not only to be convenient and valuable for training but also to have the benefits of occupational protection. However, whereas 50.48% of participants wanted to learn the ward via virtual reality, 87.21% of participants wanted to learn via in-person training before working in the wards. As a substitute for in-person training, virtual reality is a feasible and practical instrument to provide preservice training in particular periods. However, there is room for improvement due to general discomfort and technological problems.
