AHFE Open AccessBeyond Gaming: Neuroscientific Insights into VR Through Gameflow Analysis
Abstract
This paper explores the concept of 'gameflow' within the realm of Virtual Reality (VR), extending its application beyond traditional gaming boundaries to encompass various industries. The primary objective is to establish a multifaceted scoring and evaluation system that is adaptable across different sectors, leveraging the universal nature of game-like approaches. Central to our study is the use of VR gaming as a main case study. By adopting neuroscientific methods, specifically functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), we aim to validate and refine game evaluation standards. Our research signifies a step in the interdisciplinary application of gameflow analysis, which not only evaluates the gaming experience from a neuroscientific perspective but also underscores the potential of gameflow principles in enhancing user experience and effectiveness in diverse fields.
