This research explores how different virtual work environments, differing inthe type and amount of elements they include, impact users' flow, performance,emotional state, and preferences. Pre-study interviews were conducted to informthe design of three VR work environments: the Dark Room, the Empty Room, andthe Furnished Room. Fifteen participants took part in a user study where theyengaged in a logic-based task simulating deep work while experiencing eachenvironment. The findings suggest that while objective performance measures didnot differ significantly, subjective experiences and perceptions varied acrossthe environments. Participants reported feeling less distracted and morefocused in the Dark Room and the Empty Room compared to the Furnished Room. TheEmpty Room was associated with the highest levels of relaxation and calmness,while the Furnished Room was perceived as visually appealing yet moredistracting. These findings highlight the variability of user preferences andemphasise the importance of considering user comfort and well-being in thedesign of virtual work environments. The study contributes to the betterunderstanding of virtual workspaces and provides insights for designingenvironments that promote flow, productivity, and user well-being.
