A Study on the Effects of Differences of the Contents Among Vr Sightseeing Experiences on on-Site Sightseeing Experiences

To gain fundamental insights into the effects of prior VR sightseeing experiences on subsequent on-site sightseeing, we designed and conducted an experiment. We compared three conditions: on-site sightseeing after experiencing either of two VR spaces with quantitatively different content, and on-site sightseeing without prior VR experience. The results indicated that prior VR sightseeing experiences did not reduce subjects’ satisfaction and that subjects who had experienced VR sightseeing tended to report a higher intention to revisit than those who had not. This suggests that prior VR sightseeing experiences have the potential to enhance the on-site sightseeing experience.
