Bernhard Spanlang, Torsten Fröhlich, Vanessa F. Descalzo, Angus Antley, Mel Slater · 2007
This paper describes the makings of an experiment to test various hypotheses relating to how and under what conditions people would respond to a virtual fire occurring within a social setting. An analogy is drawn with making a movie, and all the steps involved, from the specification of the hypotheses through to a full analysis of one participant are presented. Some conclusions are drawn about presence.
