Flow, Boredom, Idleness: The Relation Between the Subjective Passage of Time and the Experience of Video Games
This presentation examines how the subjective passage of time relates to the experience of video games, with particular attention to slow play.
- Play typically accelerates perceived time, and this acceleration tends to accompany flow, a state of deep concentration, sense of control, and loss of self-awareness.
- In the VIRTUALTIMES studies, two experiments using the game Thumper found a positive correlation between accelerated time perception and higher flow states.
- A virtual reality waiting room study found that boredom slowed subjective time, with an effect stronger than in an equivalent real-world waiting room.
