Realistic graphics are only important when the virtual world triggers a sense of threat
◆この研究は、ゲーマーに対して高価なVR機器を無理に購入させる圧力を軽減する可能性があり、エンターテインメント以外にも、VRが将来的には職場のトレーニングから医療リハビリテーションプログラムまで、さまざまな分野でますます重要な役割を果たすと予想されています。

ABSTRACT
Presence is one of the most studied and most important variables in immersive virtual reality (VR) and it influences the effectiveness of many VR applications. Separate bodies of research indicate that presence is determined by (1) technical factors such as the visual realism of a virtual environment (VE) and the field of view (FoV), and (2) human factors such as emotions and agency. However, it remains unknown how technical and human factors may interact in the presence formation process. We conducted a user study (n=360) to investigate the effects of visual realism (high/low), FoV (high/low), emotions (focusing on fear) and agency (yes/no) on presence. Counter to previous assumptions, technical factors did not affect presence directly but were moderated through human factors. We propose TAP-Fear, a structural equation model that describes how design decisions, technical factors and human factors combine and interact in the formation of presence.
