Virtual Reality Experience Design Handbook<\/em><\/strong> Heuristics, Patterns, and Practices for Immersive Applications<\/em> is the title of the book presented by Francisco Juli\u00e1n Mart\u00ednez Cano and Roc\u00edo Cifuentes Albeza, professors at the Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University of Elche (UMH), at the University of Aveiro (Portugal). While there, the professors and co-editors of the publication also participated in the closing meeting of the Erasmus+ ABRAXAS project.<\/p>\n

\"Profesores<\/a>This publication is one of the main outcomes of the European project, ABRAXAS \u2013 Best Practices for High-Immersion Experiences Design (2023-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000157492), funded by the European Union. Both faculty members also participated in the project\u2019s closing meeting, along with faculty from the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a University of Technology (Poland), the University of Vigo, and the University of Aveiro.<\/p>\n

Their book is divided into four parts: fundamentals of presence; interaction, locomotion, and interfaces; narrative, social dimension, ethics, and accessibility; and heuristics, performance, and validation. Among other topics, it explains how to translate on-screen design patterns into spatial experiences and how to use spatial sound, lighting, and animation to guide attention. The manual, consisting of 16 chapters, offers a practical guide to creating intuitive and inclusive virtual reality experiences. It is intended for professionals, educators, and students in areas such as audiovisual communication, design, and application development. It proposes practical tools such as a specific heuristic framework for virtual reality, checklists, and immersive experiences like Gestalt Machina and SceneCraft VR\u2014developed by the team at the OCAP Research Group (Observatory of Audiovisual Communication and Advertising) within the Department of Social and Human Sciences.<\/p>\n

The book was edited by eight researchers from the four universities in the consortium: Roc\u00edo Cifuentes Albeza and Francisco Juli\u00e1n Mart\u00ednez Cano (UMH); I\u00f1igo Cui\u00f1as and Itziar Goicoechea (University of Vigo); Dorota Kami\u0144ska and Grzegorz Zwoli\u0144ski (\u0141\u00f3d\u017a University of Technology); and Rui Raposo and M\u00e1rio Vairinhos (University of Aveiro).<\/p>\n

The book was published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis) in an open-access version, and the PDF can be downloaded for free from the project’s website.<\/p>\n
