Public speaking is an essential skill in everyone's professional or academic career. Nevertheless, honing this skill is often tricky because training in front of a mirror does not give feedback or inspire the same anxiety as present-ing in…
Virtual reality interview simulator (VRIS) provides an effective and manageable approach for candidates prone to being very nervous during interviews, yet, the major anxiety-inducing elements remain unknown. During an interview, the anxiety…
The emotional response of users induced by VR scenarios has become a topic of interest, however, whether changing the size of objects in VR scenes induces different levels of anxiety remains a question to be studied. In this study, we…
We investigate the impact of a novel method called "virtual mirroring" to promote employee self-reflection and impact customer satisfaction. The method is based on measuring communication patterns, through social network and semantic…
This study will investigate the user experience while interacting with highly photorealistic virtual job interviewer avatars in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and on a 2D screen. Having a precise speech recognition mechanism,…
Eye tracking is routinely being incorporated into virtual reality (VR) systems. Prior research has shown that eye tracking data, if exposed, can be used for re-identification attacks. The state of our knowledge about currently existing…
Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a potential solution for mitigating bias in a job interview by hiding the applicants' demographic features. The current study examines the use of a gender-swapped avatar in a virtual job interview that…
The latest developments in computer hardware, sensor technologies, and artificial intelligence can make virtual reality (VR) and virtual spaces an important part of human everyday life. Eye tracking offers not only a hands-free way of…
Virtual reality (VR) is not a new technology but has been in development for decades, driven by advances in computer technology. Currently, VR technology is increasingly being used in applications to enable immersive, yet controlled…
With rapid developments in consumer-level head-mounted displays and computer graphics, immersive VR has the potential to take online and remote learning closer to real-world settings. However, the effects of such digital transformations on…
Digital platforms increasingly support collective action initiatives, yet coordinating geographically dispersed users through digital interfaces remains challenging, particularly in threshold settings where success requires critical mass…
Virtual reality (VR) is known to cause a "time compression" effect, where the time spent in VR feels to pass faster than the effective elapsed time. Our goal with this research is to investigate if the physical realism of a VR experience…
Public speaking anxiety affects many individuals, yet opportunities for real-world practice remain limited. This study explores how augmented reality (AR) can provide an accessible training environment for public speaking. Drawing from…
Despite extensive use in related domains, Virtual Reality (VR) for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) has received little previous attention. We report upon a VR environment created for the Oculus Rift and Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) to…
Virtual Reality (VR) has been a beneficial training tool in fields such as advanced manufacturing. However, users may experience a high cognitive load due to various factors, such as the use of VR hardware or tasks within the VR…
With the rising interest in Virtual Reality and the fast development and improvement of available devices, new features of interactions are becoming available. One of them that is becoming very popular is hand tracking, as the idea to…
VR in the treatment of clinical concerns such as generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety. VR has created additional pathways to support patient well-being and care. Understanding online discussion of what users think about this…
The rapid evolution of social Virtual Reality (VR) platforms has significantly enhanced the way users interact and socialize in digital spaces, offering immersive experiences that closely mimic real-world interactions [1]. However, this…
Human cognition significantly influences expressed behavior and is intrinsically tied to authentic personality traits. Personality assessment plays a pivotal role in various fields, including psychology, education, social media, etc.…
Virtual reality (VR) technology can be used to treat anxiety symptoms and disorders. However, most VR interventions for anxiety have been therapist guided rather than self-guided. This systematic review aimed to examine the effectiveness…
