AN INVESTIGATION INTO FACTORS INFLUENCING IMMERSION IN INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENTS
Shaun Bangay, Louise R. Preston · Studies in health technology and informatics · 1998
Two interactive virtual reality environments were used to identify factors that may affect, or be affected by, the degree of immersion in a virtual world. In particular, the level of stress in a “swimming with dolphins” simulation is measured, as is the degree of simulator sickness resulting form a virtual roller coaster.
