Abstract

This paper investigates the concept of immersion by means of motion tracking technology and a novel game play experience. A system was developed that allows a user to navigate a virtual soundscape through motion-tracked movement around the bounds of a room. A subjective test was carried out to measure the perceived level of immersion for the motion-tracked systems versus a traditional hand-held control system. Results show that soundfield interaction through motion tracking is capable of producing a more enjoyable and immersive experience when compared to a traditional handheld analogue controller.
