Perceptual and social realism in virtual reality : the effect of immersion on children's psychological responses
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation examined the potential effects of immersive technology, like virtual reality, (VR) on young children's everyday lives. An experimental study tested the effect of technological immersion (VR versus TV) on 4-to-6-year old children's inhibitory skills, approach behaviors toward an embodied agent, and their perception of the character as a live social actor. In addition, children's emotional distress, physical distress, visual perception of the characters, and enjoyment of the virtual environments were assessed.
