Abstract

Teamwork is becoming increasingly important in today's engineering and product design professions. In an effort to enhance teamwork and collaboration, our approach relies on adopting a psychophysiological approach for determining how participants' feelings of social presence in a virtual reality environment in comparison to the “real” world. Using a combination of ECG data and participant feedback from an anonymous questionnaire, our comparative analysis shows that participants feel more relaxed and have a greater sense of participation in the virtual environment. That could provide a stronger theoretical basis for the development of virtual collaborative projects in the future.
