Creating Memorable Experiences in Virtual Reality: Theory of Its Processes and Preliminary Eye-Tracking Study using Omnidirectional Movies with Audio-Guide

Reality is the true situation which consists of a set of things that are actually experienced. Human beings live in the environment filled with artifacts, part of which is real and the rest is virtual. The purpose of this paper is to show how the perceptual-cognitive-motor processes along with the memory process of human beings result in memorable experiences. Since memory system is cumulative, any external stimuli that do not resonate with the existing memory are not real but virtual. However, repetitive experiences should strengthen its memory trace along with its associated memory which in turn makes the virtual change to the real. It is argued from the dual processing perspective necessary conditions for the memory system to work to make the virtual to the real by drawing preliminary results from a study that showed how omnidirectional movies in virtual reality augmented with audio-guide made the experience memorable by timely synchronization and integration of multi-modal information.
