“…Skarbez et al [67,68] argued that PI is "essentially the extent to which a scenario complies with a user's expectations". As put by Weber et al [80], "there is only little research about the effects of perceived realism in VR and the conducted studies generally show that higher realism goes along with stronger presence". It is important to note that the effect of perceived realism in VR is often relatively small [80] and that a high level of realism does not necessarily imply strong presence [37].…”

Figure 1: We explore the use of virtual reality (VR) for shoulder surfing research in the authentication research domain. We compare the impact of non-immersive/immersive VR observations on participants' observation performance and behaviour while shoulder surfing authentications. We demonstrate the strengths of VR-based shoulder surfing research by exploring three different authentication scenarios: (➊) automated teller machine (ATM), (➋) smartphone PIN, and (➌) smartphone pattern authentication.

“…O conceito de "presença" é central para teorizar sobre ambientes virtuais avançados, como a RVI. Presença pode ser caracterizada como sentido de estar no centro da perspectiva da observação e, ao mesmo tempo, no centro de sua construção (Weber et al, 2021). Trata-se de um complexo sentimento psicológico de imersão na RV que envolve a sensação da presença física e a possibilidade de interagir e reagir como se o usuário estivesse no mundo real.…”

Resumo Introdução A Realidade Virtual se apresenta como ferramenta promissora para aprimoramento de tecnologias em saúde e potencialização de intervenções para a melhora da funcionalidade e qualidade de vida de pacientes e familiares que enfrentam doenças e/ou condições progressivas ameaçadoras da vida. Objetivo Este ensaio discute o papel promissor da Realidade Virtual Imersiva na reabilitação em Cuidados Paliativos e propõe o conceito de Reabilitação Total como possibilidade para ampliação da concepção de reabilitação atual. Método Apresentamos reflexões baseadas na teoria de Dor Total, própria dos Cuidados Paliativos, e a inserção das Novas Tecnologias na saúde, especialmente no âmbito da reabilitação, por meio de documentos baseados na linha reflexiva que os autores pretendem submeter à apreciação e ao debate público. Resultados É importante e promissor o papel da Realidade Virtual Imersiva em intervenções de saúde, bem como a proposta conceitual de ampliação do conceito e compreensão de Reabilitação, cunhando o termo Reabilitação Total. Além disso, fomentou-se o processo reflexivo de debate sobre as possibilidades terapêuticas e suas inovações. Conclusão A partir da Reabilitação Total, inovações relativas ao cuidado em saúde, sejam tecnológicas e/ou das práticas clínicas, podem ser aprimoradas e disponibilizadas através de intervenções em ambientes físicos e/ou virtuais, tendo como premissas para os processos de reabilitação a funcionalidade global e dignidade da pessoa humana, com ações que envolvam as dimensões física, social, psicológica e espiritual, tal como apresentado pelo conceito de Dor Total.

“…From the developers' perspective, it would be important to know which of the various aspects of a VR environment contribute most to the positive effects on attitude change. Previous studies have shown that visual realism is an important determinant of presence (IJsselsteijn et al, 2001;Schubert et al, 2001;Baños et al, 2004;Hvass et al, 2017;Weber et al, 2021). Presence refers to the subjective feeling of being in the virtual world (Slater and Wilbur, 1997).…”

Previous research has shown that immersive virtual reality (VR) is a suitable tool for visualizing the consequences of climate change. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether visualization in VR has a stronger influence on climate change awareness and environmental attitudes compared to traditional media. Furthermore, it was examined how realistic a VR experience has to be in order to have an effect. The VR experience consisted of a model of the Aletsch glacier (Switzerland) melting over the course of 220 years. Explicit measurements (new environmental paradigm NEP, climate change scepticism, and nature relatedness) and an implicit measurement (implicit association test) were collected before and after the VR intervention and compared to three different non-VR control conditions (video, images with text, and plain text). In addition, the VR environment was varied in terms of degrees of realism and sophistication (3 conditions: abstract visualization, less sophisticated realistic visualization, more sophisticated realistic visualization). The six experimental conditions (3 VR conditions, three control conditions) were modeled as mixed effects, with VR versus control used as a fixed effect in a mixed effects modeling framework. Across all six conditions, environmental awareness (NEP) was higher after the participants (N = 142) had been confronted with the glacier melting, while no differences were found for nature relatedness and climate change scepticism before and after the interventions. There was no significant difference between VR and control conditions for any of the four measurements. Nevertheless, contrast analyses revealed that environmental awareness increased significantly only for the VR but not for the control conditions, suggesting that VR is more likely to lead to attitude change. Our results show that exposure to VR environments successfully increased environmental awareness independently of the design choices, suggesting that even abstract and less sophisticated VR environment designs may be sufficient to increase pro-environmental attitudes.
