Abstract
The uses of Virtual reality are constantly evolving, from healthcare
treatments to evaluating commercial products, all of which would
benefit from a better understanding of the emotional state of the
individual. There is ongoing research into developing specially
adapted methods for the recognition of the user’s affect while
immersed within Virtual Reality. This paper outlines the
approaches attempted and the available methodologies that embed
sensors into wearable devices for real-time affect detection. These
emerging technologies are introducing innovative ways of studying
and interpreting emotion related data produced within immersive
experiences.
