This paper presents the results of preliminary tests of the QoE4VR (Quality of Experience for Virtual Reality Applications) project, funded by the University of Zagreb. The project is aimed at achieving a better understanding of the relationship between different objective and subjective parameters that may affect user Quality of Experience when using different VR applications. We conducted the initial experiment with 10 test subjects who played racing game Project Cars in VR environment. The paper discusses the impact of subjective parameters, such as fear and discomfort of our test subjects, on the achieved level of QoE in the game. The results show how even high levels of discomfort were not negatively reflected on user experience. Additionally, the paper reports on user misperception of time after being immersed into VR.
