Combined Effects of VR and Gaming Expertise on Precision Performance

Abstract

The rapid integration of VR in various application domains necessitates a deeper understanding of how levels of user experience impact user performance and task efficiency. We investigate the relationship between experience with VR, 3d computer games, and physical skills across multiple performance metrics. In a comprehensive analysis of multiple levels of VR experience and 3d computer-game expertise, we identified key trends indicating that increased experience in both domains significantly enhances task efficiency while reducing perceived workload and improving task accuracy. Notably, more experience in VR and expertise in controlling 3d computer games consistently correlate with lower task-load scores and more stable performance metrics. Interestingly, we found that physical space requirements remain consistently low across all experience levels, highlighting the accessibility of existing VR technology.
