“…Adolescents found the simulation to be realistic, and some even felt embarrassed in some scenes, which indicated the participants’ immersion with the virtual experience. The term “immersion” is constantly linked to virtual reality [ 18 , 19 ] and is described as the subjective impression that you are participating in a comprehensive and realistic experience [ 38 ]. This can prove to be important for the learning outcome of the simulation, as immersion in VR has been found to enhance the educational output in terms of enabling multiple perspectives, situated learning, and transfer [ 39 ].…”

“…Very few VR applications have been developed within this area, and limited understanding of user experiences is available [ 17 ]. Within the area of VR for learning in general, immersion and presence are important elements of the user experience [ 18 , 19 ]. Presence is often described as the feeling of being present in the virtual environment [ 20 , 21 ], and immersion as the physical properties that make the user feel present [ 22 ].…”

This pilot study explores 31 Danish adolescent user experiences for the newly developed virtual party simulation app—Virtual Reality (VR) FestLab. The main objective of this study was to investigate usability for VR FestLab, which aims to improve alcohol resistance skills for Danish adolescents. A secondary objective was to understand gameplay experiences. The study is a mixed method study that draws on questionnaire data (n = 31) and focus group interviews (n = 10) of boarding school students participating in the pilot study. Descriptive statistics were used to examine quantitative data, and qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Quantitative findings indicated that gameplay experiences of the VR simulation were positive, and all User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) items were answered positively. The focus group interviews showed that adolescents found the simulation to be realistic. Feedback indicated that the group pressure experienced in the simulation was regarded to be less than in real life. Adolescents had varying approaches to playing the VR simulation, they thought the quality of the simulation was good, and only a few users experienced technical difficulties. These initial study findings indicate that VR FestLab is a promising tool for the prevention of alcohol use among adolescents.

“…At vaere i sin egen boble kan passende komme ind under begrebet immersion. Immersion som begreb diskuteres til stadighed, men daekker over oplevelsen af en opslugende tilstedevaerelse (Murray, 1998;Waterworth & Riva, 2014). Murray (1998) definerer immersion som: "... a metaphorical term derived from the physical experience of being submerged in water.…”

“…Indenfor presence arbejder bl.a. hjerneforskeren Antonio Damasio med tre niveauer af selvopfattelse: The Proto-self, Core self og Extended self (Damasio, 2000) og tre niveauer af tilstedevaerelse: Proto-presence, core presence og extended presence (Waterworth & Riva, 2014). Sker der ubalance mellem de tre niveauer, f.eks.…”

Tema. Artiklen sigter mod at skabe en række af designprincipper, der kan anvendes i fremtidig forskning i anvendelsen af VR til borgere med demens. Dette sker på baggrund af en række projekter i Rødovre kommune, som alle har bygget videre på samme VR-koncept til borgere med demens. Fokus. Med Design-Based Research som ramme fokuserer artiklen på metoder som brugercentreret design, brugertests og inddragelse af den praksis hvori teknologien skal anvendes. VR-konceptet tager derfor udgangspunkt i både plejepersonalet og borgerne med demens og inddrager dem, for at kunne skabe et praktisk anvendeligt koncept og design. Konklusion. På baggrund af den afsluttende afprøvning konkluderer artiklen at have fundet et praktisk anvendeligt interaktionsdesign, som i sig selv åbner op for anvendelse af VR-udstyr i en praksisnær kontekst. Disse består bl.a. af behovet for planlagte arbejdsgange, VR-briller med indbygget lyd og en ekstern skærmenhed til personalet.

“…This feeling of “presence”, which can be operationally defined as “the perceptual illusion of non-mediation” [45], is a crucial aspect of many recent and developing interactive technologies [44,46]. When users experience it, they feel that the technology has become part of their bodies and that that they are experiencing the virtual world in which they are immersed.…”

The emergence of social neuroscience has significantly advanced our understanding of the relationship that exists between social processes and their neurobiological underpinnings. Social neuroscience research often involves the use of simple and static stimuli lacking many of the potentially important aspects of real world activities and social interactions. Whilst this research has merit, there is a growing interest in the presentation of dynamic stimuli in a manner that allows researchers to assess the integrative processes carried out by perceivers over time. Herein, we discuss the potential of virtual reality for enhancing ecological validity while maintaining experimental control in social neuroscience research. Virtual reality is a technology that allows for the creation of fully interactive, three-dimensional computerized models of social situations that can be fully controlled by the experimenter. Furthermore, the introduction of interactive virtual characters—either driven by a human or by a computer—allows the researcher to test, in a systematic and independent manner, the effects of various social cues. We first introduce key technical features and concepts related to virtual reality. Next, we discuss the potential of this technology for enhancing social neuroscience protocols, drawing on illustrative experiments from the literature.
