Emotionally controlled Virtual Environments: A New Tool for Enhancing Presence through Media Content Manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A participants ́ sense of "being there" in a mediated experience is determined by a variety of characteristics or components. The EMMA Project (IST-2001-39192) is interested in analyzing the relationships between presence and emotions, especially for some Virtual Reality applications, such as mental health (both for promotion and treatment goals). This research will help to understand better the development of some psychopathological phenomena and the development of new correcting experiences and learning to cope with those psychopathological experiences. Mood devices are special hardware and software configurations able to induce different forms of mood enhancement. In this paper, we describe one of the “mood devices” that have been developed inside the project: the EMMA room. Keywords--Mood devices, presence, emotions.
