Human Dark-Light-Box in VR

The development of a human dark light box in VR, with which the emotion ‘fear’ is to be investigated through a study

The dark light box is a room similar to a cellar, which consists of a small light area (safe zone) and a dark, eerie area.
Among other things, the following is to be investigated in a study:

Blick in einnen dunklen Raum mit spärlichem Streulicht, dass einen mittelalterlichen Kerzenleuchter erahnen lässt

View into the dark area

Start in der Safezone

Ein heller, aber karger Raum, mit schwarzer Decke und kalten Steinwänden. Das Licht hat keinen Ursprung ist aber warm und einladend.
  • Do test subjects go into the dark area?
  • How long do they stay there?
  • Do they show anxious behaviour?
