Modular Immersive Virtual Reality System for the Analysis of Emotional Reactivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a Modular Immersive Virtual Reality System that can be used towards the development of Immersive Virtual Environments (IVE) with variable sensor requirements that, in turn, are intended to be used to support experiments related to Virtual Exposure Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Rehabilitation. Specifically, by utilizing the Unity game engine and modular sensor architecture, the proposed system is aimed to support the development of virtual environments synchronized with multi-sensor input and output. Based on the intended usage, our system can be used to record user responses via built-in surveys and to accommodate for extensive robotics and sensor requirements focusing on synchronous user interaction and input. Keywords—Virtual Reality; Body Ownership; Emotional Reactivity; Immersion; Virtual Environments; Data Collection

متن کاملComparative Evaluation of User Performance for Modeling Tasks in Non-immersive and Immersive Virtual Environments
This work deals with modeling in immersive virtual environments. We present MuscleAssemblyLab (MAL), a tool to create musculo-skeletal layers for virtual humanoids. With modular interaction metaphors it supports various inputand output-devices ranging from classical desktop systems to virtual reality hardware. This enabled us to conduct a comparative user study between non-immersive and immersi...
متن کاملUse of immersive virtual reality for treating anger.
Poorly managed anger responses can be detrimental to one's physical and psychosocial well-being. Cognitive behavior therapies (CBT) have been found to be effective in treating anger disorders. A key component of CBT treatment is exposure to the anger arousing stimuli. Virtual reality (VR) environments can elicit potent reactions and may facilitate the treatment of anger. An anger VR environment...
