ABSTRACT
In the present paper, a new serious extreme 3D game is presented to simulate a stressful situation causing a change in the heart rate of the research subject. With the proposed 3D game, a virtual helmet is used, which enables playing in virtual reality. The helmet is an immersive system; thus, the simulated environment is closer to the real one. An electrocardiographic device was used to determine the change in heart rate as a result of the simulated stress, and the resulting electrocardiogram (ECG) was examined using spectral analysis. Resting subjects were studied, and the data obtained from the analysis were compared to those obtained during 3D gaming. The results of the comparative spectral analysis show that with the extreme 3D game, the heart rate of the research subjects changes. This way of simulating stress is suitable for researching people who cannot undergo active physical exertion due to various health reasons.
