Abstract

Virtual Reality technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, opening up new opportunities in various fields from entertainment to education. This research aims to investigate the factors influencing users' level of immersion in VR environments. Data were collected from 500 different VR users regarding their age, gender, play duration, VR headset used, and perceived motion sickness level. Analysis was conducted to evaluate the demographic distribution of users, immersion levels, play duration, and motion sickness levels. The research findings indicate that the majority of VR users are aged between 30-40 years old, with 42% of users aged 30 to 36 and 38% aged 37 to 44. Immersion levels are predominantly moderate to high, with 48% of users reporting level 3 immersion and 28% reporting level 4 immersion. Longer play durations tend to correlate with higher immersion levels, with the average play duration being 27 minutes for users with level 4 immersion compared to 18 minutes for users with level 2 immersion. Higher motion sickness levels are associated with lower immersion levels. The average motion sickness level is 2.5 for users with level 1 immersion and 1.8 for users with level 4 immersion. Additionally, the Oculus Rift VR headset proves to be the top choice for users, with 45% of the total sample using this headset and reporting an average immersion level of 3.8. This is followed by PlayStation VR with 30% of users and an average immersion level of 3.5, and HTC Vive with 25% of users and an average immersion level of 3.6. These findings provide valuable insights into users' preferences and experiences in VR environments, as well as highlighting the importance of considering factors such as age, play duration, and VR headset type in content development and interaction design. By gaining a deeper understanding of human-computer interaction dynamics in virtual environments, this research is expected to make a meaningful contribution to the future development of VR technology.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of property prices in the virtual world, focusing on geographical distribution and district comparisons. Utilizing a dataset of virtual properties, we applied scatter plot analysis, cluster analysis using DBSCAN, and box plot comparison to identify key patterns and opportunities within this market. The scatter plot analysis revealed that property prices are unevenly distributed, with higher prices clustering in specific regions, indicating areas of higher desirability and value. The DBSCAN clustering identified distinct high-value clusters, each containing 10 to 67 properties, and highlighted 1,067 properties as noise, suggesting a dispersed distribution of lower-value properties. Box plot comparisons across districts showed significant variations in property values. Some districts exhibited higher median prices, with the highest at 35,452.60 MANA, while others had lower medians. Variability within districts varied, with some showing a wide range of prices and others more uniform values. Outliers suggested unique investment opportunities in both premium and undervalued properties. For virtual real estate investors, the findings emphasize the importance of location and strategic investment. High-value districts and emerging areas offer potential for significant returns. Developers and urban planners can use these insights to focus on high-demand areas, enhancing project value through strategic investments in infrastructure and amenities. This study highlights the dynamic nature of the virtual real estate market and the importance of ongoing research to understand factors influencing property values. Stakeholders can make informed decisions and capitalize on opportunities in this evolving market.
