“…In general, the results show that there are no significant differences in psychological user's responses compared to those evoked by physical environments, although further research is still required (Lange, 2011). At another level, we also found studies comparing features of VRbased set-ups: screen size, stereoscopy, and field of view, etc., in terms of their effects on understanding and presence (Zikic, 2007), the level of detail or realism in spatial understanding (Nikolic, 2007) or the comparison between different set-ups based on a set of metric performances for mechanical design learning (Mengoni et al, 2011).…”

Psychological research into human factors frequently uses simulations to study the relationship between human behaviour and the environment. Their validity depends on their similarity with the physical environments. This paper aims to validate three environmental-simulation display formats: photographs, 360° panoramas, and virtual reality. To do this we compared the psychological and physiological responses evoked by simulated environments set-ups to those from a physical environment setup; we also assessed the users' sense of presence. Analysis show that 360° panoramas offer the closest to reality results according to the participants' psychological responses, and virtual reality according to the physiological responses. Correlations between the feeling of presence and physiological and other psychological responses were also observed. These results may be of interest to researchers using environmental-simulation technologies currently available in order to replicate the experience of physical environments.

“…The format describes the structure of the information displayed. The most common are two-dimensional (2D) multimedia and three-dimensional (3D) environments, and the main difference between them is their levels of interactivity [ 9 ]. 2D multimedia, including 360° panoramic images and videos, provide non-interactive visual representations.…”

Emotions play a critical role in our daily lives, so the understanding and recognition of emotional responses is crucial for human research. Affective computing research has mostly used non-immersive two-dimensional (2D) images or videos to elicit emotional states. However, immersive virtual reality, which allows researchers to simulate environments in controlled laboratory conditions with high levels of sense of presence and interactivity, is becoming more popular in emotion research. Moreover, its synergy with implicit measurements and machine-learning techniques has the potential to impact transversely in many research areas, opening new opportunities for the scientific community. This paper presents a systematic review of the emotion recognition research undertaken with physiological and behavioural measures using head-mounted displays as elicitation devices. The results highlight the evolution of the field, give a clear perspective using aggregated analysis, reveal the current open issues and provide guidelines for future research.

“…Likewise, the emergence of virtual reality has generated a wide range of possibilities, not only at the scientific level, but also at the commercial level. These simulations have a great variety of set-ups, which involve a combination of formats and supports (Mengoni, Germani, & Peruzzini, 2011). They have been progressively integrated into studies as the technology has evolved.…”

The validity of environmental simulations resides in their capacity to replicate responses produced in a physical environment. However, no studies validate the similarity of navigation in immersive virtual environments, even though this can radically condition space perception and therefore alter the various evoked responses. The objective of this present paper is to validate environmental simulations using 3D environments and head-mounted display devices, at perception level by means of presence and at behavioural level through navigation. A comparison was developed between the free exploration of an art exhibition in a physical museum and a simulation of the same experience. At perception level, the virtual museum shows a high degree of presence. At navigation level, movement patterns show high similarity, and they present significant differences only at the beginning of the exploration in the percentage of area explored and the time taken to undertake the visits. The results suggest that there is an environmental adaptation effect of about 2 minutes. Subsequently, navigation in physical and virtual museums does not show significant differences. These findings support the use of immersive virtual environments as empirical tools in human behavioural research.
