Introduction
My professorship has a focus on Virtual Reality (vr/ar/mr) believing in ‘lean research’: testing while creating. Within this program we use media context as the guiding principle to measure, explore and understand the functionality and role of VR. In doing so it provides a framework against which organizations can create VR concepts and media strategies, designed to engage and reach audiences who do -or do not- move across different media platforms. Central goals: 1. To create and examine the effects of high quality and realism in VR, 2. To better understand the role of VR in the media context, 3. To examine the functionality and effects of VR within a media context, 4. To explore how we can use this context to connect VR with other media (transmedia)

This paper provides a comparative study between problems caused by cybersickness with users in virtual environments, and the studies on the influence of the optical aspects of the image via its levels of contrasts in the quality of the user experience in virtual environments. This article was organized in two parts, the first consists of surveying...
Chapter
Modern techniques, such as photogrammetry, allows for capturing humans and convert them into realistic looking three-dimensional digital humans. Scanning human faces through photogrammetry and applying them into realistic virtual environments becomes more affordable and easy to use. However, it is unclear whether people differ in recognizing human...

Chapter
We can safely argue that VR an AR will not disappear, despite recent skeptical articles that refer to the decline of VR. We will spend a significant proportion of our time inside a mediated digital Virtual Reality. However, the question is how much time and with what purpose? Due to the increasing number of media, selection of a medium becomes incr...

Memory forms the input for future behavior. Therefore, how individuals remember a certain experience may be just as important as the experience itself. The peak-and-end-rule (PE-rule) postulates that remembered experiences are best predicted by the peak emotional valence and the emotional valence at the end of an experience in the here and now. The...

The interplay between sound and vision is a key determinant of human perception. With the development of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and their commercial applications, there is emergent need to better understand how audio-visual signals manipulated in virtual environments influence perception and human behaviour. The current study addresses t...

This study addresses the question how realistic Virtual Worlds should be designed in order to create engaging experiences and stimulate ‘natural’ behaviour. Creating high realistic worlds is time consuming and expensive and it is unclear whether it is always needed. With the aim of gaining insights about questions related to presence and realism, a...
Chapter
This work investigates the connection among optical aspects of photographic composition and the quality, perception and interpretation of the level of realism of images. Therefore, to investigate this connection, an experiment was carried out in two steps: The first step consisted of performing analyzes of the optical or photographic contrasts of p...
