abstract = {<p>This paper describes IVRUX, a tool for the analysis of 360textordmasculine Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) story-driven experiences. Traditional cinema offers an immersive experience through surround sound technology and high definition screens. However, in 360textordmasculine IVR the audience is in the middle of the action, everything is happening around them. The immersiveness and freedom of choice brings new challenges into narrative creation, hence the need for a tool to help the process of evaluating user experience. Starting from textquotedblleftThe Old Pharmacytextquotedblright, a 360textordmasculine Virtual Reality scene, we developed IVRUX, a tool that records userstextquoteright experience while visualizing the narrative. In this way, we are able to reconstruct the usertextquoterights experience and understand where their attention is focused. In this paper, we present results from a study done using 32 participants and, through analyzing the results, provide insights that help creators to understand how to enhance 360textordmasculine Immersive Virtual Reality story driven experiences.</p>},
