隨著頭戴顯示器和電腦圖學技術的不斷成熟，虛擬實境為導演提供了一個嶄新的平台來講述故事。觀眾穿戴頭戴式顯示器，能夠快速地脫離現實世界，深度沉浸於導演所創建的虛擬環境中。近年來，虛擬實境敘事作品也逐漸進入主流電影節展現新媒體潛力。本研究利用文獻回顧和內容分析方法，深入探討如何透過漫畫元素來增強虛擬實境敘事，將漫畫元素視為輔助虛擬實境敘事的工具。我們分析了虛擬實境作為敘事媒體的特性，整理了虛擬實境的敘事技巧以及漫畫元素的特性。最終，我們歸納出三個主要用途：強調故事重點、引導視點和行動，以及維持過渡場景的存在感。此外，我們還提出了七種使用情境：強調情感、強調動作、引導視點、引導行動、遮蔽視線轉場、保持視覺連續性轉場以及互動轉場。針對每種使用情境，我們提出了具體的設計建議，以滿足不同的情境需求。我們期望這些建議能夠為未來虛擬實境敘事創作者提供有關如何運用漫畫元素來豐富故事呈現之參考，以漫畫式的敘事文體為觀眾帶來獨特的沉浸式觀賞體驗，同時豐富虛擬實境敘事內容的情感表達。

As head-mounted displays and computer graphics technology continue to mature, virtual reality has provided filmmakers with a new platform for storytelling. Viewers wear headsets that swiftly transport them away from the real world, immersing them in virtual environments crafted by directors. Over the past six years, virtual reality narrative works have gradually made their way into mainstream film festivals, showcasing the potential of new media. This study employs a literature review and content analysis to delve into how comic elements can be used to enhance virtual reality storytelling, viewing comic elements as tools to complement virtual reality narratives. We analyze the characteristics of virtual reality as a narrative medium, categorize narrative techniques in virtual reality, and identify the properties of comic elements. In the end, we identify three primary purposes: emphasizing the focus of a story, guiding viewpoints and actions, and maintaining presence during transitions. Furthermore, we propose seven usage scenarios: emphasizing emotions, emphasizing actions, guiding viewpoints, guiding actions, obscuring line-of-sight transitions, maintaining visual continuity transitions, and interactive transitions. For each usage scenario, we provide specific design recommendations to meet different contextual needs. We hope that these suggestions will serve as a reference for future virtual reality storytellers on how to enrich storytelling using comic elements, bringing a unique immersive viewing experience in a comic-style narrative genre, while enhancing emotional expression in virtual reality narratives.
