Empirical Models Based on Free-Modulus Magnitude Estimation of Perceived Presence in Virtual Environments

摘要

A series of 3 studies was conduced to test free-modulus magnitude estimation as a measure of perceived presence in virtual environments (VEs) and to model the first-and second-order effects of 11 VE system parameters on perceived presence across 5 subtasks. Sequential experimentation techniques were used to build 4 empirical models using polynomial regression. An integrated empirical model of data combined across 2 experiments demonstrated that all significant factors had a positive effect on perceived presence.
