An Analysis of User Experiences with Virtual Reality Head-Mounted Displays in Museum Exhibitions

Yeun-Hee Kim | JDMCT 4(1) 49-59

Abstract : With the rapid technological advancement in modern society, the virtual reality (VR) industry has become increasingly important and in demand, and this change has also brought about changes in museum exhibitions. Wearing a VR HMD (Head-Mounted Display) to view artworks provides visitors with immersion and interactivity. However, there are a number of problems that visitors experience including physical problems such as headaches, dizziness, and simulator sickness, and psychological problems such as disorientation, fear, and anxiety. Research has been conducted to address these issues, but solutions are still lacking. Therefore, this study aims to apply grounded theory, a qualitative research method, to qualitatively analyze the discomfort felt by visitors in museum HMD wearable artworks and propose alternative solutions. To do this, this paper first interviewed visitors who had experience wearing HMDs. All interview transcripts were documented, and a paradigmatic model was constructed through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. As a result, 61 concepts, 6 superordinate categories, and 11 subcategories were derived. Based on the results of the analysis, this paper conducted a qualitative study on the inconveniences of visitors when creating HMD wear-based works, and it is expected that multidisciplinary research on HMD wear-based works will be conducted based on the results of this study.

Player-Character Dynamics in Successful Korean Subculture Games in Goddess of Victory: Nikke and Blue Archive

Eun Joung Kim | JDMCT 4(1) 61-72

Abstract : This paper explores the intimate player-character relationships in two highly successful beautiful girl collectible RPGs that transitioneda subculture genre to mainstream popularity. Through a comparative analysis of Goddess of Victory: Nikke and Blue Archive, it investigates how their distinct gameplay mechanics, narrative structures, and contrasting mode of fostering intimacy with beautiful girl characters have contributed to their exceptional success in the Korean game market. While Goddess of Victory: Nikke cultivates an intense, intimate bond between players and characters through a drama-driven, post-apocalyptic storyline centered around a hierarchical commander-trooper dynamic, Blue Archive adopts an omnibus format that establishes a spectator-type relationship that allows players to observe and engage with the individual growth and desires of various characters in an academy setting. The study suggests that differentiating the nature of intimacy between players and characters can be a crucial factor in the success and genre expansion of beautiful girl collectible RPGs in order to cater to diverse player preferences and gameplay experiences.
