Actions, not gestures: contextualising embodied controller interactions in immersive virtual reality
summary
Embodied controller interactions are tested with a remote IVR study using participants’ own headsets: 56 participants (48 usable) perform 15 Japanese verb trials (~15 minutes) either manipulating virtual objects or miming gestures. A Linear Mixed Model shows the manipulation condition yields 26% higher recall immediately and boosts IPQ general and spatial presence, but yields no reliable one-week retention or faster response times. No differences appear on embodiment or motivation surveys, suggesting object manipulation in VR drives stronger short-term verb memorization.
