简要总结
Comparing the emotional effect of two different versions of one VR experience. The VR experience will simulate a typical return to work situation after an absence due to burnout.
The difference of the VR scenario is the point of view. In the first version, the 'standard' version, the user is looking at the VR experience from a neutral point of view, as if s/he was watching a 2D screen. In the second version, the 'embodiment' version, a VR features is added to have the user feeling incarnated in a digital human. This will enhance the feeling of being present in the virtual world and will enhance the emotional answer. The measured endpoint will be the evoked emotions, in particular stress.

研究组 & 干预措施
Embodiment group
This group this group will view the VR scenario being 'embodied' in the avatar who is experiencing the VR scenario. This implies first persons perspective, agency over the avatar, multi-sensorial integration and co-location.
干预措施: Embodiment (Other)
observation group
This group will view the VR scenario from a third persons perspective , as an observer.
干预措施: Observation (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
measured stress level
时间窗: this will be evaluated after the intervention and will take 15 min.
This is measured with a Visual Analogue Scale from 1-10 and with the DASS-21, subscale stress
次要结局
- plausibility illusion and place illusion(20 min after intervention)
- measured Emotional level(15 min, before (baseline) and after the intervention)
- measured stress baseline(15min, before the intervention)
- embodiment evaluation(20 min after the intervention)
