The rapid grown of Virtual Reality (VR) in emotion research is given by it’s ability to evoke a strong sense of presence that could be associated with high emotional responses. Virtual reality allows us to feel immersed in a temporally and spatially place and the use of this technology in museum environments has increased significantly, changing the visitor experience. The aim of the present study is to compare the intensity of the emotion evoked by the painting showed in a virtual reality environment (VR) with the same painting shown through a computer screen (CS) asking to participants to judge the intensity of their emotions. The results of this exploratory study, which involved 18 participants, provide support to scientific knowledge on the impact that immersive technologies have – compared with the real world – in the emotional responses.

Abstract
The rapid grown of Virtual Reality (VR) in emotion research is given by it’s ability to evoke a strong sense of presence that could be associated with high emotional responses. Virtual reality allows us to feel immersed in a temporally and spatially place and the use of this technology in museum environments has increased significantly, changing the visitor experience. The aim of the present study is to compare the intensity of the emotion evoked by the painting showed in a virtual reality environment (VR) with the same painting shown through a computer screen (CS) asking to participants to judge the intensity of their emotions. The results of this exploratory study, which involved 18 participants, provide support to scientific knowledge on the impact that immersive technologies have – compared with the real world – in the emotional responses.Pubblicazioni consigliate
