Influence of Familiarization With Immersive Virtual Reality on Prescence Over Time: A Pilot Study

Abstract

The effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) across various domains such as medical interventions (Carl et al., 2018), social psychology (Barreda-Angeles & Hartmann, 2022), and cognitive training (Cohavi & Levy-Tzedek, 2022; Wais et al., 2021) is well-documented. Presence, or the "sense of being there," is a crucial element in the effectiveness of IVR (Weech et al., 2019; Gibbs et al., 2022). While IVR has been suggested to be a successful tool across an array of domains, it may be that presence enables these outcomes. This study investigates how presence in IVR, and the degree of mood change are affected by repeated exposure.
