AFFECTIVE COMPUTING: MEASURING THE PLAYER EMOTIONS IN VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Knowing the pleasure a game can provide to the user, might be the key to boost your sales. However, accessories such as a head-mounted display allows the experience with immersion, but it still has a very poor evaluation. Because of the increasing demand of games in this category, this paper presents many applications developed with Unity3D engine, integrated with virtual reality equipment such as Oculus Rift, in order to conduct a study about the player's emotion. It was used the Emotiv Epoc+, a low-cost mobile EEG recorder, in order to capture, on real time, the interest level, stress and emotions felt by the player and a qualitative evaluation through interview. While testing in different scenarios, this paper shows the strengths and the weakness of the games developed for this type of equipment.
