Introducing the Wunderkammer as a tool for emotion research: Unconstrained gaze and movement patterns in three emotionally evocative virtual worlds
作者:
Highlights:
• Here we introduce a suite of virtual worlds designed to study affect.
• We measured unconstrained gaze and movement as participants explored these worlds.
• Approach and avoidance patterns emerged in response to both agents and objects.
• Freezing-type fear responses emerged within a pervasively threatening environment.
• “Virtual ethology” offers a naturalistic means of studying human affect.
