Adaptive virtual reality based on eye-gaze behavior

Virtual cognitions are simulated inner thoughts, which are presented as a voice over. Previous research has shown the ability of virtual cognitions to increase the self-efficacy and knowledge of the users. When presenting such VR systems to users, having the VR system adapt to the user can improve their efficacy. For instance, by using eye-gaze...

The Effect of an Adaptive Simulated Inner Voice on User's Eye-gaze Behaviour, Ownership Perception and Plausibility Judgement in Virtual Reality

Virtual cognitions (VCs) are a stream of simulated thoughts people hear while emerged in a virtual environment, e.g. by hearing a simulated inner voice presented as a voice over. They can enhance people's self-efficacy and knowledge about, for example, social interactions as previous studies have shown. Ownership and plausibility of these VCs...

Simulated thoughts in virtual reality for negotiation training enhance self-efficacy and knowledge
