Design of an emotion elicitation tool using VR for human-avatar interaction studies

Abstract

With the development of socially interacting machines, it is important to understand how people react depending on their emotional state. Research in this area require emotion elicitation devices. This paper presents such a tool using virtual reality (VR), that merges classical elicitation techniques to emphasize emotional response. The design choices are depicted for four emotions, and a performance analysis using questionnaires is achieved.
