Investigating the Effects of Embodiment on Presence in Stressful Immersive Virtual Environments using Physiological Monitoring
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an experiment using physiological monitoring of heart rate and galvanic skin response to investigate the effects of a fully tracked human avatar representation on presence in immersive virtual environments (IVEs). The experiments will compare participants’ physiological reactions in a high fidelity virtual replica of the room occupied and their reactions to a stressful model of the room with the floor removed except for a narrow bridge.

Investigating the Physiological Effects of Self-Embodiment in Stressful Virtual Environments
In this paper we explore the benefits that self-embodied virtual avatars provide to a user’s sense of presence while wearing a headmounted display in a immersive virtual environment (IVE). Recent work has shown that providing a user with a virtual avatar can increase their performance when completing tasks such as ego-centric distance judgment [5]. The results of this research imply that a heig...
متن کاملFirst- and Third-Person Perspectives in Immersive Virtual Environments: Presence and Performance Analysis of Embodied Users
Current design of virtual reality (VR) applications relies essentially on the transposition of users’ viewpoint in first-person perspective (1PP). Within this context, our research aims to compare the impact and the potentialities enabled via the integration of the third-person perspective (3PP) in immersive virtual environments (IVE). Our empirical study is conducted in order to assess the sen...
متن کاملPsychological and physiological responses to stressful situations in immersive virtual reality: Differences between users who practice mindfulness meditation and controls
Several studies in the literature have shown positive psychophysical effects during or immediately after mindfulness meditation. However, the extent to which such positive effects are maintained in real-life, stressful contexts, remains unclear. This paper investigates the effects of an 8-week mindfulness-oriented meditation (MOM) program on the psychological and physiological responses evoked ...
متن کاملA Further Assessment of Factors Correlating with Presence in Immersive Virtual Environments
In previous work, we have found significant differences in participants’ distance perception accuracy in different types of immersive virtual environments (IVEs). Could these differences be an indication of, or consequence of, differences in participants’ sense of presence under these different virtual environment conditions? In this paper, we report the results of an experiment that seeks furt...
متن کاملPanoramic Imagery of Physical Locations inside Immersive Environments
Immersive environments hold great promise in allowing people to physically engage with virtual objects and surroundings in a natural and intuitive manner. In this project, we will develop immersive virtual environments using panoramic imagery of real-world physical locations, and explore the effects of presenting real-world panoramic imagery in immersive environments compared with traditional d...
