IEEE CoG 2019 - Industry Day - Theresa Duringer (Temple Gate Games)
summary
Argues VR is in a Geocities moment with lots of gimmicky UI experiments and no standards; claims about 80% urchins (first‑time VR users) drive heavy tutorial needs. Describes building Bazaar, a flying carpet game that tests attention guidance (shooting‑star, aurora, blinking dots), a flying genie NPC, accelerometer nod/shake input and a dendritic sky HUD with constellation inventory — playtests show nodding and sky UI fail, while menu/button and box/map inventory work. Recommends splitting effort 50/25/25 rule (mechanics/comfort/performance).
