The article discusses the importance of immersiveness in video games and how it can be impacted by factors such as the game’s User Interface (UI) and the player’s expertise. The researchers propose an experimental protocol to measure the level of immersion a player experiences while playing a third-person shooter game (Fortnite). The protocol involves using questionnaires and analyzing players’ behavioral and physiological responses. The ultimate goal of the study is to develop guidelines for video game UI that can enhance player immersion.
