Abstract:
We explored the potential impact of threat occurrence and repeatability on users’ Sense of Embodiment and threat response. To that aim, we conducted an experiment in which participants were embodied in a virtual avatar, and performed a task in which a threat towards the virtual body was introduced a first time, then repeated several times through the experiment. The main findings of our experiment are that the introduction of a threat does not alter users’ Sense of Embodiment but might change their behaviour while performing a task after the threat occurrence.
