Creating an extreme 3D game to study the impact of stress on cardiac data

Published: 12 September 2023 Publication History

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.

Supplementary Material

The presentation and the two video clips 1. The sound included with the game that is part of The presentation is freely downloadable from the ZapSplat site. Then it is processed with the Audacity program. A sound effect is applied to it, and its duration is reduced. Converts from .mp3 to .wav //air5.wav 2. The car model is freely downloaded from the Creazila site and has a .blend extension. So that it can be used even in commercial projects, asking permission is unnecessary: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ The 3D model was processed by the program Blender 3. Buildability is shown in the presentation of buildings via the Buildify and Blender library // 10 slide (compsystech23-23-supplements.zip)
