【 摘 要 】

The thrust of this study was to take a look at responses of young people to the Oculus Rift-based disaster simulation game Minmin Escapes from Disaster. This paper was a proof of concept that aims to further explore the value of a virtual reality disaster game. The game was created with the Unity Game Engine and tested on young adults (ages 19-21) and children (ages 4-8). Responses to the prototype were used to gauge how effective a fully developed disaster simulation game would be to young people as an immersive, educational tool. Overall, results showed that young adults responded well to the game while young children had a difficult time understanding the game mechanics. These results are evaluated to see how a fully developed game using virtual reality will be received by its target audience.
