The main aim of this study is to investigate how an immersive virtual reality experience can be leveraged to influence consumer purchase intention and foster trust when buying vehicles online. Immersion describes the level to which computer displays may provide a user with an all-encompassing, comprehensive, surrounding, and vivid illusion of reality. This study proposes a theoretical model of various constructs influencing users' purchase intention within v-commerce. The model was tested through a quantitative research method, i.e., an online questionnaire. The responses were analyzed using the SEM-PLS method. The perceived ease of use solely determines the intention to use v-commerce for buying a car. This contradicts existing literature. According to the findings, immersion positively impacts product diagnosticity and trust. Moreover, purchase intention is explained by trust, product diagnosticity, use, and test drive. In general, the outcome of this study indicates that immersive virtual reality should be considered a valuable tool for promoting online vehicle sales.Costa, Maria Manuela Simões Aparício daRUNLaakmann, Leon Christopher2023-04-142026-04-14T00:00:00Z2023-04-14T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/152366TID:203275730enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:34:43Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/152366Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:54:53.440043Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
