A predictive model for understanding the role of emotion for the formation of presence in virtual reality

Users’ emotions may influence the formation of presence in virtual reality (VR). Users’ expectations, state of arousal and personality may also moderate the relationship between emotions and presence.

Popis
Shrnutí:Users’ emotions may influence the formation of presence in virtual reality (VR). Users’ expectations, state of arousal and personality may also moderate the relationship between emotions and presence. An interoceptive predictive coding model of conscious presence (IPCM) considers presence as a product of the match between predictions of interoceptive emotional states and the actual states evoked by an experience (Seth et al. 2012). The present paper aims to test this model’s applicability to VR for both high-arousal and low-arousal emotions. The moderating effect of personality traits on the creation of presence is also investigated. Results show that user expectations about emotional states in VR have an impact on presence, however, expression of this relationship is moderated by the intensity of an emotion, with only high-arousal emotions showing an effect. Additionally, users’ personality traits moderated the relationship between emotions and presence. A refined model is proposed that predicts presence in VR by weighting emotions according to their level of arousal and by considering the impact of personality traits.
