Abstract

What difference does the metaverse experience have from the real world? This study investigated the effect of space size and dialogue topic on metaverse user experience. The results from a 3(space size: reality vs. metaverse in an open room vs. metaverse in a closed room) x 2(dialogue topic: positive vs. negative) mixed factorial design experiment (N = 75) revealed statistically significant effects of space on responsiveness, and dialogue topic on closeness. This result implies that designing metaverse for non-immersive devices should include careful considerations regarding the characteristics of the user's real space.

메타버스 경험은 실제 세계와 어떤 차이가 있을까? 본 연구는 특히 공간과 대화 주제와 관련해서, 메타버스를 사용하는 공간과 커뮤니케이션의 내용이 메타버스 경험에 주는 영향을 밝혔다. 75명의 연구 참여자를 대상으로 한 3(대화 공간: 대면 vs. 넓은 공간에서의 메타버스 vs. 좁은 공간에서의 메타버스) x 2(대화 주제: 긍정적 vs. 부정적) 혼합 요인 설계 실험 연구 결과, 공간에 따라 반응 정도에, 대화 주제에 따라 친밀감에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 연구 결과는 메타버스 경험이 현실 공간과 연관되어 있고, 특히 비몰입형 기기를 활용한 메타버스 콘텐츠를 제작할 때, 현실 공간을 염두에 두어야 함을 시사한다.
