Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) technology has rapidly advanced, offering immersive gaming experiences previously unattainable. However, creating truly immersive VR games remains a challenge despite improved hardware. This study investigates effective VR game design with a focus on environment design, interaction mechanics, and narrative and user interface (UI) design. The paper highlights that detailed environments enhance immersion but must balance visual quality with performance to avoid discomfort. It emphasizes the necessity of natural interaction mechanisms while considering system constraints and explores the importance of combining narrative depth with intuitive UI design. The findings suggest that successful VR game design requires a multifaceted approach that integrates detailed environmental elements, natural interactions, and a cohesive narrative. Additionally, the study underscores the significance of audio design and its role in enhancing realism and immersion. These design strategies are essential for achieving high levels of immersion and meeting the growing demand for engaging VR experiences. The research also points out the importance of testing and iterative refinement to ensure that the final product is both functional and enjoyable for users.
