So far, scientific literature has paid attention to the cognitive and environmental determinants of presence, trying to offer a definition and assessment measures that could seize such an elusive concept. However, the emotional determinants of presence have received less attention. Emotional responses could play a key role in generating and enhancing presence, specially for some Virtual Reality (VR) applications, such as mental health field (both for promotion and treatment goals). The main…

Emotion Recognition in Immersive Virtual Reality: From Statistics to Affective Computing

A systematic review of the emotion recognition research undertaken with physiological and behavioural measures using head-mounted displays as elicitation devices to highlight the evolution of the field, give a clear perspective using aggregated analysis, reveal the current open issues and provide guidelines for future research.

Affective Interactions Using Virtual Reality: The Link between Presence and Emotions

The results confirmed the efficacy of VR as affective medium and showed a circular interaction between presence and emotions: the interaction with "anxious" and "relaxing" virtual environments produced anxiety and relaxation.

Presence and emotions in virtual environments: the influence of stereoscopy.

ABSTRACT This study investigates how stereoscopy (the illusion of depth and 3D imaging) affects the sense of presence and the intensity of the positive mood that users feel in virtual environments

Presence and Emotions in Virtual Environments: The Influence of Stereoscopy

Results show that there were no differences between stereoscopic and monoscopic presentations in VEs (neither subjective sense of presence nor emotional reactions).

Adaptive Generation of Emotional Impact Using Enhanced Virtual Environments

The work enables new ways to make VEs more interesting and emotionally engaging, especially over a longer period of time, opening new possibilities, for example, to increase the motivation for long, stressful, and tiresome training as in neurorehabilitation.

Real vs. immersive-virtual emotional experience: Analysis of psycho-physiological patterns in a free exploration of an art museum

This study investigates psycho-physiological patterns evoked during the free exploration of an art museum and the museum virtualized through a 3D immersive virtual environment (IVE), demonstrating the high involvement of brain synchronization in emotional virtual reality processes.

Individual Differences in the Sense of Presence

There is a lack in the literature of studies that investigate the human factors involved in the engagement of presence. The present study is addressed to investigate the influence of five user’s

Transformation of flow in rehabilitation: The role of advanced communication technologies

This article outlines the possibility of using two emerging computing and communication technologies—ambient intelligence (AmI) and virtual reality (VR)—for a new breed of rehabilitative and clinical applications based on a strategy defined astransformation of flow.

EMOTIVe : Emotions , Induction , Measure and Use in Virtual Environments

During the last two decades, various studies showed the efficacy of Virtual Reality in the treatment of anxiety disorders. The goal of most of these studies was to elicit emotions and reactions in

Virtual Clinical Therapy

The chapter focuses its analysis both on the concept of "presence" and on the main applications of VR in clinical psychology: anxiety disorders, eating disorders and obesity, pain reduction and the open source "NeuroVR" VR system.

Virtual Reality and Psychopathology

Virtual Reality has the potential of becoming a tool that will allow psychopathology to challenge and modify theoretical positions already established, and to pose new ones, and this new way of experience can make new answers arise on the psychopathological and psychological horizon.

Acts of meaning

Jerome Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings, and only by breaking out of the limitations imposed by a computational model of mind can be grasped.

Presence: Where Are We?

The author recounts the story of a “curious episode” in his life where his brain got surgically separated from his body, with each connection between them restored by placing two “microminiaturized radio transceivers” between each input and output pathway.
