Virtual Selves, Real Emotions: The Impact of Photorealistic Avatar Personalization on Emotion in Virtual Reality

Embodying photorealistic personalized avatars that closely resemble their users has recently become technologically achievable in virtual reality (VR). While previous work highlighted several benefits of personalization, its impact on emotions, a central VR element, remains underexplored. Given their high production c…

Sweating the Details: Emotion Recognition and the Influence of Physical Exertion in Virtual Reality Exergaming

There is great potential for adapting Virtual Reality (VR) exergames based on a user's affective state. However, physical activity and VR interfere with physiological sensors, making affect recognition challenging. We conducted a study (n=72) in which users experienced four emotion inducing VR exergaming environments…

Realism and Field of View Affect Presence in VR but Not the Way You Think

Presence is one of the most studied and most important variables in immersive virtual reality (VR) and it influences the effectiveness of many VR applications. Separate bodies of research indicate that presence is determined by (1) technical factors such as the visual realism of a virtual environment (VE) and the fiel…

Imagine That! Imaginative Suggestibility Affects Presence in Virtual Reality

Personality characteristics can affect how much presence an individual experiences in virtual reality, and researchers have explored how it may be possible to prime users to increase their sense of presence. A personality characteristic that has yet to be explored in the VR literature is imaginative suggestibility, th…

Designing and Assessing a Virtual Reality Simulation to Build Resilience to Street Harassment

Street harassment is a widespread problem that can constrain people's freedom to enjoy public spaces safely, along with many other negative psychological impacts. However, very little research has looked at how immersive technology can help in addressing it. We conducted three studies to investigate the design decisio…

Affect Recognition using Psychophysiological Correlates in High Intensity VR Exergaming

User experience estimation of VR exergame players by recognising their affective state could enable us to personalise and optimise their experience. Affect recognition based on psychophysiological measurements has been successful for moderate intensity activities. High intensity VR exergames pose challenges as the eff…

Me vs. Super(wo)man: Effects of Customization and Identification in a VR Exergame

Customised avatars are a powerful tool to increase identification, engagement and intrinsic motivation in digital games. We investigated the effects of customisation in a self-competitive VR exergame by modelling players and their previous performance in the game with customised avatars. In a first study we found that…

Virtual Performance Augmentation in an Immersive Jump & Run Exergame

Human performance augmentation through technology has been a recurring theme in science and culture, aiming to increase human capabilities and accessibility. We investigate a related concept: virtual performance augmentation (VPA), using VR to give users the illusion of greater capabilities than they actually have. We…

Interactive Feedforward for Improving Performance and Maintaining Intrinsic Motivation in VR Exergaming

Exergames commonly use low to moderate intensity exercise protocols. Their effectiveness in implementing high intensity protocols remains uncertain. We propose a method for improving performance while maintaining intrinsic motivation in high intensity VR exergaming. Our method is based on an interactive adaptation of…
