- Additional information
- The first research to empirically investigate the concept of emotional challenge as player experience in video games and to compare this experience in VR vs on-screen. This was also the first research to explore the relationship between emotional challenge and conventional challenge as player experiences in two experimental studies. The paper was presented at CHI’21, the leading conference in HCI, with an acceptance rate of 24%. The findings from this study opened up new avenues for studying the impact of different video game features on emotional challenge and the relationship between this and other player experiences.
