Assessing the Relationship between Ceiling Height and Emotional Response in Art Galleries through Editable 360-Degree VR Panoramic Scenes

This study investigates the relationship between ceiling height and emotional responses in art galleries using editable 360-degree VR panoramic scenes. Although prior research has explored the influence of spatial dimensions on human emotions, little attention has been given to the specific impact of ceiling height in art gallery settings. Our study employed an experimental design, presenting participants with virtual art gallery environments with varying ceiling heights, and assessed their emotional responses through self-report measures. The findings indicate that ceiling height significantly affects specific emotions, such as disgust and joy, while the influence on other emotions, like fear, anger, sadness, and surprise, is less evident. The study highlights the potential of editable 360-degree panoramic photo scene modeling as a valuable tool for architectural research and emphasizes the importance of considering spatial dimensions in the design of art gallery en本研究借助可编辑360度VR全景场景（editable 360-degree VR panoramic scenes），探究美术馆层高与情绪反应之间的关联。尽管已有前期研究探讨了空间尺度对人类情绪的影响，但针对美术馆场景中层高的特定影响，相关关注仍较为匮乏。本研究采用实验设计范式，为参与者呈现不同层高的虚拟美术馆环境，并通过自报告量表对其情绪反应进行评估。研究结果表明，层高会显著影响厌恶、愉悦等特定情绪，而对恐惧、愤怒、悲伤与惊讶等其他情绪的影响则相对不显著。本研究凸显了可编辑360度全景照片场景建模作为建筑研究的宝贵工具的潜力，并强调了在美术馆空间设计中考量空间尺度的重要性。
