Dynamic Day and Night Cycle Impact in a Serious VR Game

ABOUT

This paper explores how a real-time day and night cycle—compressed into a 10-minute gameplay loop—can boost immersion, strategy, and visual fidelity in serious VR games. The system dynamically affects gameplay mechanics, requiring players to adapt to changing conditions such as resource shifts and operational challenges. Research findings show up to a 25% improvement in player immersion and a notable increase in strategic depth, highlighting the value of environmental systems in crafting more engaging VR experiences.
