Goals
The purpose of the evaluation was to ascertain the player’s level of satisfaction with the experience. In addition to satisfaction levels, the study examined the time taken to complete the parkour and the player’s ability to finish it. It is also considered the presence of an exercise aspect in the locomotion technique, along with the presence of motion sickness.
This data was collected through a questionnaire completed post-game, alongside a measurement of the time taken to finish the level and the total coin collection.
Setup
The evaluation process involved enabling the participants to engage with the game on a computer, using a VR headset, after a short introduction to the locomotion and interaction technique. Each participant had a period of 10 minutes to play the game. They were informed that their completion time would be recorded but not instructed to go as fast as possible. Following the 10-minute period, the participants were asked to complete the questionnaire.
Results
Four individuals participated in the evaluation process. One of the participants was the developer of the application, one had already seen and tried the application before, and the other two played the game for the first time. Due to this, the results are not statistically significant.
One participant reported slight symptoms of motion sickness; the others did not. It is possible that for this particular participant, the speed was set at a level that was too high. It was reported by all participants that the experience was realistic and enjoyable.Two participants experienced fatigue in their arms after playing, while one participant reported low levels of fatigue.
Conclusion
The results of the evaluation demonstrate that the experience was enjoyable and that the participants successfully completed the parkour course. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the game has potential as a form of exercise, provided it is played for a sufficient duration.
