SIMULATOR SICKNESS QUESTIONNAIRE DATASET 2017 VR HORROR GAMES

Collected through 32 participants (17 females), 5 with corrected vision were aged from 19 to 25 (M=21; SD=1.91), who could be considered as possible young consumers of VR systems interested in cyber-entertainment. The 16 item original English version of SSQ (Lane & Kennedy, 1988) was used for data collection with a four-point scale of 0 (none), 1 (slight), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe). The apparatus was Oculus Rift Consumer Version 1 (CV1) HMD attached to a Windows 10 64-bit personal computer with an i7 processor and R9 90 series graphic card used for running HMD. CV1 has a field of view of 110°. Resolution is 1080x1200 per eye with image refreshing rate of 90 Hz. Logitech F310 gamepad was used as a joystick controller when necessary. Seven publicly available VE applications were employed as stimuli which were horror-movie like experiences with suspended horror elements and jump scares. The item set was administered immediately after each session. 9 sessions for each participant were spread to four weeks. Participants were exposed to the same stimuli at first and last sessions as “A1 - no experience” and “A2 - maximum experience” conditions, and at third and eighth sessions as “C1 - low experience” and “C2 - higher experience” conditions.

本数据集共招募32名参与者（其中女性17名），5名参与者需佩戴矫正视力设备，年龄介于19至25岁之间（平均年龄M=21，标准差SD=1.91），该群体可视为对网络娱乐类虚拟现实（VR）系统感兴趣的年轻潜在消费者。本次数据采集采用由Lane与Kennedy于1988年编制的16条目原版英文版模拟器晕动症问卷（Simulator Sickness Questionnaire，SSQ），采用四点计分法：0分代表无不适、1分代表轻微不适、2分代表中等不适、3分代表严重不适。实验装置为Oculus Rift Consumer Version 1（CV1）头戴式显示器（Head-Mounted Display，HMD），配套搭载Windows 10 64位操作系统的个人计算机，该设备配备i7处理器与R9 90系列显卡，用于驱动头戴显示器。CV1的视场角为110°，单眼分辨率为1080×1200，图像刷新率达90Hz。必要时采用罗技（Logitech）F310游戏手柄作为摇杆控制器。本次实验选用7款公开可用的虚拟现实环境（Virtual Environment，VE）应用作为刺激素材，均为带有悬念恐怖元素与突发惊吓（jump scares）的类恐怖电影体验。在每一轮实验结束后立即填写上述问卷条目。每名参与者需完成9轮实验，实验周期为四周。其中首轮与末轮实验使用相同刺激素材，分别对应“A1 - 无经验”与“A2 - 最大经验”条件；第三轮与第八轮实验亦使用相同刺激素材，分别对应“C1 - 低经验”与“C2 - 较高经验”条件。
