Overcoming Glossophobia Based on Virtual Reality and Heart Rate Sensors

摘要

Glossophobia or commonly called speech anxiety is the fear of public speaking. It is a psychological disorder which a person is afraid to speak in public or can be interpreted as nervous. This problem is caused by the lack of preparation or training carried out to public speaking. In Addition, the training is generally lack the atmosphere or impression like speaking in public. Therefore, this system was created for helping someone in preparation before public speaking. This system simulation for practicing public speaking based on technology such as virtual reality, video 360, and arduino heart rate sensors. The results of the functionality and non-functionality of the system have been fully implemented and are running well. In addition, based on the results of the questionnaire and test of objectivity, this system has good feedback for helping someone to prepare and practice in public speaking based on virtual reality technology.
