Boonekamp, R. (author), Schaap, T. (author), van den Berg, H. (author)This paper investigates whether immersion in a game-based experiment can be used to observe authentic behavior, for example in the case of studying extreme behaviors under unfamiliar circumstances. A graphic adventure game (Opponent Immersion Game) was developed, in which participants could experience and act on various known risk factors and...article 2022

Dijkstra-Soudarissanane, S. (author), Gunkel, S.N.B. (author), Reinders, V. (author)Elderly people in care homes face a great lack of contact with their families and loved ones. Social isolation and loneliness are detrimental factors for older people in their health condition, cognitive impairment and quality of life. We previously presented a communication system that facilitated high-quality mediated social contact through an...conference paper 2022

(author), Vermetten, E. (author)With the application of virtual reality (VR), tailored interventions can be created that mirror the traumatic experiences of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Visual elements can be mimicked, and auditory and other senses stimulated. In doing so, the degree of immersion can be adjusted to optimize the therapeutic process....article 2021

Toet, A. (author), Heijn, F. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), Erp, J.B.F.van (author)Immersive 360◦ virtual reality (VR) movies can effectively evoke a wide range of different emotional experiences. To this end, they are increasingly deployed in entertainment, marketing and research. Because emotions influence decisions and behavior, it is important to assess the user’s affective appraisal of immersive 360◦ VR movies. Knowledge...article 2020

Potetsianakis, E. (author), Thomas, E. (author), Assal, K.E. (author), van Deventer, O. (author)With omnidirectional videos, the viewer is able to direct her Field-of-View (FoV) to any part of the scene while watching the content. This is achieved by rendering the 360 video content on the inside of a (conceptual) sphere in which the viewer is typically placed at the center. This is in contrast with traditional video that is rendered on a...conference paper 2020

Gunkel, S.N.B. (author)Virtual Reality (VR) applications are currently suffering several gaps to allow a full breakthrough in the consumer market. One aspect is the social isolation. Many VR experiences do not represent yourself or other users, making it lonely rather than a shared experience. VR applications that do offer a user representation mostly use artificial...conference paper 2019
