Abstract
Mudslide education is important for children. In this study, a design-based research approach was used to develop an educational VR mudslide game for children. Eleven children participated in the usability evaluations. The results indicated the importance of intuitive, easy-to-learn controls. Six major refinements of the VR mudslide game were made to increase usabilities. Feedback from the participants will guide future game refinements to increase users’ engagement and interaction.
