Abstract
Graphical user interfaces should not be a limiting factor when it comes to designing immersive virtual reality games. In this work we evaluate two different GUI designs for VR games: A non-diegetic HUD and a diegetic GUI, utilizing objects in the virtual environment to convey information. A pilot study was conducted to measure the players presence in VR and their GUI preference. Our results indicate that players prefer the diegetic GUI over the non-diegetic one. However the results lack statistical significance and thus further studies are necessary to identify the factors leading to the this preference.
