DESCRIPTION:In 3D games we see many types of user interfaces. From the 'Met
 a' & 'Diegetic' which are immersive player character facing interfaces gro
 unded in our game's narrative\, to the 'Abstract' which are non-diegetic i
 nterfaces presented directly to our players. These two interface types are
  complimented with 'Spatial' player facing interfaces shown in the player 
 character's 3D space balancing both extremes.

In this talk I will des
 cribe a method of quantifying the player's 'Presence' with regards to seco
 nd-to-second gameplay\, I will then define the types of UI that are at our
  disposal\, finally I will present a case study applied to a fictional gam
 e (created for this talk) to demonstrate how we can select the best type o
 f UI to present to our player according to the context they are in.

Y
 ou will see 2 case studies from popular games\, as well a case study cover
 ing a fictional abstract AAA open world game created for this talk and how
  the UI is structured from the ground up while best respecting immersion i
 n our game world and giving the game's core systems room to breathe.
