Abstract

The sensation of presence is intrinsically linked to virtual reality, bringing the user's ability to have feelings with that environment. This sensation can be found in different aspects such as: self-presence and spatial presence. This work aims to evaluate the spatial presence and self-presence in a game based on virtual reality, developed to raise awareness of violence against women. Caixa de Pandora is a serious game that aims to make people aware of violence against women. The game went through a redesign process that uses virtual reality with 360° environments. With the development of the application, tests were performed in order to measure aspects of spatial presence and autopresence, comparing it to the previous version of Caixa de Pandora for mobile devices. The results highlighted that the presence aspects had better results, when compared to its mobile version.

Keywords: virtual reality, autopresence, space presence, serious games, evaluation
