Affective Interactions Using Virtual Reality: The Link between Presence and Emotions
Giuseppe Riva,Fabrizia Mantovani,Claret Samantha Capideville,Alessandra Preziosa,Francesca Morganti,Daniela Villani,Andrea Gaggioli,Cristina Botella,Mariano Alcañiz +8 more
TL;DR: The results confirmed the efficacy of VR as affective medium and showed a circular interaction between presence and emotions: the interaction with "anxious" and "relaxing" virtual environments produced anxiety and relaxation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved watershed transform for medical image segmentation using prior information
TL;DR: An improvement to the watershed transform is presented that enables the introduction of prior information in its calculation, and a method to combine the watershedtransform and atlas registration, through the use of markers is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immersion and emotion: their impact on the sense of presence.
TL;DR: The results suggest that both immersion and affective content have an impact on presence, however, immersion was more relevant for non-emotional environments than for emotional ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of a Wii balance board-based system (eBaViR) for balance rehabilitation: a pilot randomized clinical trial in patients with acquired brain injury
TL;DR: The results suggest that eBaViR represents a safe and effective alternative to traditional treatment to improve static balance in the ABI population and have encouraged the virtual treatment with new exercises, so an evolution of the system is currently being developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Education: Design and validation of an augmented book for spatial abilities development in engineering students
Jorge Martín-Gutiérrez,Jose Luis Saorin,Manuel Contero,Mariano Alcañiz,David Pérez-López,Mario Ortega +5 more
TL;DR: An augmented book called AR-Dehaes has been designed to provide 3D virtual models that help students to perform visualization tasks to promote the development of their spatial ability during a short remedial course.
