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…

RetroSketch: A Retrospective Method for Measuring Emotions and Presence in Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) designers and researchers often need to measure emotions and presence as they evolve over time. The experience sampling method (ESM) is a common way to achieve this, however, ESM disrupts the experience and lacks granularity. We propose RetroSketch, a new method for measuring subjective emotions a…

Squishy, Yet Satisfying: Exploring Deformable Shapes' Cross-Modal Correspondences with Colours and Emotions

Surfaces with deformable and shape-changing properties seek to enhance and diversify tangible interactions with computing systems. However, we currently lack fundamental knowledge and user interface design principles that connect the inherent properties of deformable shapes with our human senses and cognitive associat…

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…

Feel the Force, See the Force: Exploring Visual-tactile Associations of Deformable Surfaces with Colours and Shapes

Deformable interfaces provide unique interaction potential for force input, for example, when users physically push into a soft display surface. However, there remains limited understanding of which visual-tactile design elements signify the presence and stiffness of such deformable force-input components.…

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…

Effects of Emotion and Agency on Presence in Virtual Reality

Arguably one of the most important characteristics of virtual reality (VR) is its ability to induce higher feelings of presence. Still, research has remained inconclusive on how presence is affected by human factors such as emotion and agency. Here we adopt a novel design to investigate their effects by testing virtua…
