Abstract

Presence has become an expected outcome for most VR experiences due to its positive relationship with engagement, task performance, behavior change, and other experiences. However, current literature reports contradictory results regarding presence, cognitive load, working memory, and attention. This study explores the cognitive load of presence under the framework of illusions to understand how these illusions impact users' attention and memory. Quantify and hierarchize the information built by presence (Place and Plausibility of illusion), attempt to contribute knowledge to further design, and effectively manage attention and distraction on Virtual reality experiences. This document discussed our theoretical direction and a proposed psychophysiological study.
