Resumo
Non-immersive VR environments are related to the least interactive application
of VR techniques, such that interaction with the VR environment can
occur commonly by 3D-TV without full immersion into the environment.
This study presents how 3D-TV exposure combined with physiology
recording can elicit fear of cockroaches among individuals with different
levels of fear. Thirty-six participants, set apart into three fear groups (low
vs. moderate vs. high), were exposed to VR environment with cockroaches
for 4 minutes while recording and using cardiac activity as input to the VR
environment. Results revealed significant effects on self-report measures
and heart rate between different fear groups. Moreover, participants
with higher levels of fear were more likely to trigger cockroaches into the
scenario due to their cardiac acceleration. Overall results suggest that our
physiology-driven VR environment is valid for fear elicitation while having
potential use in therapeutic domain.
