Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the detection and identification of measurable human responses to heights inside a virtual environment. Biometric data such as heart rate and movement reactions are acquired during the execution of a task within a specific framework, signal based analysis is done to validate behavioral responses and interpretation of fear. Thus, giving a better understanding of the effect and extend of these stimuli in a person on a controlled virtual scene.
