The content of virtual environment has a strong impact on the user’s immersion
and well-being. In this thesis, I wanted to research, how the abstraction of the
virtual environment impacts the user’s experience in virtual reality. I developed
an application with two environments – figurative and its abstract version.
I wanted to find out which environment is preferred by the users, which factors
impact on their decision and what kind of feelings are they experiencing in both
environments. Based on the questionnaires and testing on the users, I came to
the conclusion that the users prefer the abstract environment. This environment
contains less distractive elements, therefore the users felt more relaxed moreover,
they found it easier to concentrate on the tasks, which were given to them inside
the virtual environment.
