“…However, it is worth noting that Terkildsen and Makransky (2019) used the MPQ to assess subjectively reported presence, a measure that shows essential differences compared to the questionnaire used in previous studies that employed the same paradigm (SUS and PQ in IEQ in Burns and Fairclough, 2015). On the positive side, Tauscher et al (2019) studied the methodological feasibility and analyzed the possibility of using EEG equipment combined with VR headsets. They validated the possibility of combining these methods and reported a relatively small and predictable interference (easy to clean) from the VR headset with the recorded signal.…”

Questionnaire Measures and Physiological Correlates of Presence: A Systematic Review

2020

The published literature has produced several definitions for the sense of presence in a simulated environment, as well as various methods for measuring it. The variety of conceptualizations makes it difficult for researchers to interpret, compare, and evaluate the presence ratings obtained from individual studies. Presence has been measured by employing questionnaires, physiological indices, behavioral feedbacks, and interviews. A systematic literature review was conducted to provide insight into the definitions and measurements of presence in studies from 2002 to 2019, with a focus on questionnaires and physiological measures. The review showed that scholars had introduced various definitions of presence that often originate from different theoretical standpoints and that this has produced a multitude of different questionnaires that aim to measure presence. At the same time, physiological studies that investigate the physiological correlates of the sense of presence have often shown ambiguous results or have not been replicated. Most of the scholars have preferred the use of questionnaires, with Witmer and Singer's Presence Questionnaire being the most prevalent. Among the physiological measures, electroencephalography was the most frequently used. The conclusions of the present review aim to stimulate future structured efforts to standardize the use of the construct of presence, as well as inspire the replication of the findings reported in the published literature.

“…In addition, few studies have focused on changes in physiological signals to understand the effect of virtual reality on the human body. Previous studies in this field have compared the brain reaction of anxious participants at rest and under a virtual reality condition [ 4 ], compared electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in virtual reality and the traditional display condition [ 5 ], analyzed brain activity in response to increasing levels of task complexity in virtual reality [ 6 ], employed a deep-learning approach to improve the rate of excitement to well above the 90% accuracy level [ 7 ], and analyzed reactions of the heart and brain in different virtual reality environments [ 8 ].…”

Physiological State and Learning Ability of Students in Normal and Virtual Reality Conditions: Complexity-Based Analysis

2020

Background Education and learning are the most important goals of all universities. For this purpose, lecturers use various tools to grab the attention of students and improve their learning ability. Virtual reality refers to the subjective sensory experience of being immersed in a computer-mediated world, and has recently been implemented in learning environments. Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a virtual reality condition on students’ learning ability and physiological state. Methods Students were shown 6 sets of videos (3 videos in a two-dimensional condition and 3 videos in a three-dimensional condition), and their learning ability was analyzed based on a subsequent questionnaire. In addition, we analyzed the reaction of the brain and facial muscles of the students during both the two-dimensional and three-dimensional viewing conditions and used fractal theory to investigate their attention to the videos. Results The learning ability of students was increased in the three-dimensional condition compared to that in the two-dimensional condition. In addition, analysis of physiological signals showed that students paid more attention to the three-dimensional videos. Conclusions A virtual reality condition has a greater effect on enhancing the learning ability of students. The analytical approach of this study can be further extended to evaluate other physiological signals of subjects in a virtual reality condition.

“…Brain activity studies obtained by the application of electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes have allowed users to relate cognitive, emotional, and social functions with the exposure to certain stimuli. The portability and mobility that current VR devices allow are incompatible with traditional EEG equipment, require user immobilization and a panoply of wires and equipment that limit their use and interfere with the user experience [7][8][9].…”

“…In order to make the collection of EEG data less invasive, and to ensure that this collection is made without the user being aware, portable devices have been developed, which can be attached to Virtual Reality glasses [7,8]. One of the devices that embraced this new trend is the Lookxid Link TM , which, in addition to having all the features offered by a regular VR headset, also has an EEG attached.…”

The application of electroencephalography electrodes in Virtual Reality (VR) glasses allows users to relate cognitive, emotional, and social functions with the exposure to certain stimuli. The development of non-invasive portable devices, coupled with VR, allows for the collection of electroencephalographic data. One of the devices that embraced this new trend is Looxid LinkTM, a system that adds electroencephalography to HTC VIVETM, VIVE ProTM, VIVE Pro EyeTM, or Oculus Rift STM glasses to create interactive environments using brain signals. This work analyzes the possibility of using the Looxid LinkTM device to perceive, evaluate and monitor the emotions of users exposed to VR.
