While many researchers have examined the technical characteristics of using VR as a production environment for animation, its artistic potential has only sporadically been investigated.

In this paper we use flow theory in order to discuss the experience of using VR as a 3D prototyping tool. Our findings suggest that this practice can add an improvisatory and co-creative dimension to animation.
