  194.                            <p class="info">This study applies neuromarketing techniques to analyze how mobile gaming companies assess and influence player preferences, focusing on cognitive and emotional responses to in-game stimuli. By using neuroimaging, eye-tracking, and biometric sensors, the research provides insights into how game mechanics such as reward systems, narrative engagement, and visual design elements affect players’ neurological responses. The paper explores the implications of these findings for mobile game developers, with a particular emphasis on optimizing player engagement, retention, and monetization strategies through the application of neuroscientific principles.</p>

  248.                            <p class="info">This research examines the convergence of mobile gaming and virtual reality (VR), with a focus on how VR technologies are integrated into mobile game design to enhance immersion and interactivity. The study investigates the challenges and opportunities presented by VR in mobile gaming, including hardware limitations, motion sickness, and the development of intuitive user interfaces. By exploring both theoretical frameworks of immersion and empirical case studies, the paper analyzes how VR in mobile games can facilitate new forms of player interaction, narrative exploration, and experiential storytelling, while also considering the potential psychological impacts of long-term VR engagement.</p>
