Stress Embodied: Developing Multi-sensory Experiences for VR Police Training

Research output: Chapter in Book or Conference ProceedingsConference Proceedings with Oral Presentationpeer-review

Abstract

VR applications primarily rely on audio-visual stimuli, limiting the sense of immersion. Multi-sensory stimuli show promise in enhancing presence, realistic behavior, and overall experience. Existing approaches are either stationary or wearable, and movement-intensive. Multi-user VR police training requires a mobile device for intensive multi-sensory stimuli. This paper presents the design and development of a mobile platform for multi-sensory feedback, introducing heat, wind, mist, and pain to improve immersion. Preliminary evaluations indicate
promising effects on stress in VR. The paper concludes with lessons learned for designing multi-sensory experiences in police VR training.
