Affective computing in virtual reality (VR) explores how emotional data can enhance user experiences. By integrating emotion recognition technologies, VR environments can adapt to users’ emotional states, creating more immersive and personalized experiences. This can involve adjusting the difficulty of tasks, changing the ambiance, or providing real-time feedback based on the user’s emotions. Such advancements can significantly improve applications in gaming, education, and therapy, making VR interactions more engaging and effective.
