Affective Interactions Using Virtual Reality: The Link between Presence and Emotions
Abstract
Many studies showed the ability of movies and imagery techniques to elicit emotions. Nevertheless, it is less clear how to manipulate the content of interactive media to induce specific emotional responses. In particular, this is true for the emerging medium virtual reality (VR), whose main feature is the ability to induce a feeling of "presence" in the computer-generated world experienced by the user. The main goal of this study was to analyze the possible use of VR as an affective medium. Within this general goal, the study also analyzed the relationship between presence and emotions. The results confirmed the efficacy of VR as affective medium: the interaction with "anxious" and "relaxing" virtual environments produced anxiety and relaxation. The data also showed a circular interaction between presence and emotions: on one side, the feeling of presence was greater in the "emotional" environments; on the other side, the emotional state was influenced by the level of presence. The significance of these results for the assessment of affective interaction is discussed.

“The studies carried out in this field with VRET showed that, when a scenario engaged with the emotions, the sense of presence increased, and at the same time, presence was a significant predictor of emotional responses (Gromer et al., 2019; Riva et al., 2007).”

In the citing paper
“Furthermore, this relationship appears to be bidirectional (Riva et al., 2007), which means that emotions increase the sense of presence, and presence is also a significant predictor of the emotional responses in virtual environments.”

In the citing paper
“Although the first research findings in this field were contradictory, the literature indicates that emotions and presence are associated. Results show that when a VRET scenario engages emotions, the sense of presence immediately increases.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
