Definição de guidelines de interface gráfica de usuário para jogos em realidade virtual

Abstract

Virtual Reality presents a new form of human-computer interaction for the video game world, introducing new challenges for various aspects of game development. Many of the traditional practices in the design and development of Graphical User Interfaces do not fit the context of Virtual Reality, requiring adaptations or the creation of new solutions. This work proposes to analyze the main problems of GUIs for Virtual Reality and from this, define new guidelines to guide developers in the creation of these interfaces. An analysis of existing guidelines was carried out with the purpose of identifying which of these guidelines the VR games follow, as well as which solutions the developers found for their games that have not yet been formally defined in a guideline. In addition to the analysis of the games, a survey was applied with players to define, from the perspective of the user, the level of importance of each guideline. The results of the analysis showed the use of some patterns not yet formalized. These patterns have been consolidated into three guidelines for Virtual Reality GUIs
