ABSTRACT
Researchers have attempted to increase the realism of virtual reality (VR) applications in many ways. Combinations of the visual, auditory and haptic feedback have successfully simulated experiences in VR, however, multimedia contents may also stimulate emotions. In this paper, we especially paid attention to negative emotions that may be perceived in such experiences (e.g., fear). We hypothesized that volunteering, visual, mechanical, and electrical feedback may induce negative emotional feedback to users. In-Pulse is a novel system and approach to explore the potential of bringing this emotional feedback to users. We designed a head-mounted display (HMD) combined with mechanical and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) actuators. A user study was performed to explore the effect of our approaches with combinations with VR contents. The results suggest that mechanical actuators and EMS can improve the experience of virtual experiences.

Impacto: Simulating Physical Impact by Combining Tactile Stimulation with Electrical Muscle Stimulation
UIST '15: Proceedings of the 28th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software & TechnologyWe present impacto, a device designed to render the haptic sensation of hitting or being hit in virtual reality. The key idea that allows the small and light impacto device to simulate a strong hit is that it decomposes the stimulus: it renders the ...
Effects of dynamic field-of-view restriction on cybersickness and presence in HMD-based virtual reality
AbstractThe phenomenon of cybersickness is currently hindering the mass market adoption of head-mounted display (HMD) virtual reality (VR) technologies. This study examined the effects of dynamic field-of-view (FOV) restriction on the cybersickness ...
Memory for a virtual reality experience in children and adults according to image quality, emotion, and sense of presence
AbstractNumerous studies have explored the effects of virtual reality (VR) on adults’ cognition. Little is known, however, of these effects in children. The aim of this study was to explore, in both children and adults, the respective roles of the ...
