Abstract

With the rapid development of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, the gaming field has ushered in a brand-new interactive experience. The user interface (UI), as an important bridge for players to interact with the game, its design quality directly affects the user experience. Eye-tracking technology provides a new opportunity for the optimization of VR/AR game UI. This paper deeply explores the optimization schemes of VR/AR game UI driven by eye-tracking feedback, and analyzes the multi-faceted impacts of these optimization schemes on user experience, aiming to provide theoretical references for VR/AR game developers to improve the overall quality of the game and user satisfaction.
