| Research Abstract |
This study aims to evoke multiple emotions by presenting combinations of sensory stimulus using VR technologies. Based on the psychological knowledge, especially self-perception theory, we hypothesize that providing a variety of pseudo-physiological responses with contexts can be evoked a greater number of emotions as intended than the number of pseudo-physiological responses used. In this study, we focused on the relationship among facial expression, heartbeat, vital warmth, chest pressure and seven emotions. We implemented several systems to modulate user's bodily responses based on this hypothesis, and showed that these systems could influence the emotional states.
