The fear of public speaking is one of the most common social phobias causing anxiety problems in many people.In this context, this project focuses on developing a tool capable of helping mental health professionals using virtual reality as a controlled environment in expository therapies, in this case applied to Glossophobia.To enhance the creation of self-control mechanisms in these patients, the use of virtual reality is explored with the aid of Neuro and Biofeedback, allowing the visualization in real time of the physiological response to the stimuli of the virtual environment.

The implementation of gamification in immersive environments is a complex and multidimensional process. A socio-technical approach is necessary to cover all the specifications that the system needs to satisfy the needs and the purpose of its genesis. The use of virtual reality (VR) technologies in mental healthcare associated with gamification mechanisms has been gaining popularity. Two projects were developed using VR, one that allows people to experience and better understand mental health conditions through empathy construct and the other can be used to help patients with social phobia or Arachnophobia to reduce their phobias using VR solutions and real-time biofeedback. The authors analyze the aspects that influence the development of immersive environments and gamification mechanisms and propose a socio-technical methodology based on actor-network theory for the survey and definition of requirements.

The interactivity of an immersive environment comes up from the relationship that is established between the user and the system. This relationship results in a set of data exchanges between human and technological actors. The real-time biofeedback devices allow to collect in real time the biodata generated by the user during the exhibition. The analysis, processing and conversion of these biodata into multimodal data allows to relate the stimuli with the emotions they trigger. This work describes an adaptive model for biofeedback data flows management used in the design of interactive immersive systems. The use of an affective algorithm allows to identify the types of emotions felt by the user and the respective intensities. The mapping between stimuli and emotions creates a set of biodata that can be used as elements of interaction that will readjust the stimuli generated by the system. The real-time interaction generated by the evolution of the user’s emotional state and the stimuli generated by the system allows him to adapt attitudes and behaviors to the situations he faces.

Art has a power different from all other human actions; it can produce a variety of human emotions like nothing else. The main purpose of this chapter is to study the relation between media arts and emotions. Virtual environments are increasingly being used by artists; the use of immersive environments allows the media art artist to go further than express himself, allows that through contemplation and interaction the participant also becomes part of the artistic artefact. Immersive environments can induce emotional changes capable of generating states of empathy. Considering an immersive environment as a socio-technical system, where human and non-human elements interact, establishing strong relationships, the authors used actor-network theory as an approach to design an immersive artifact of digital media art. The use of neurofeedback mechanisms during the participant's exposure to immersive environments opens doors to new types of interaction, allowing to explore emotional states to generate empathy.

O presente trabalho descreve o processo de criação do artefacto multidimensional “e-EMotion-Capsule” que explora a imersividade para gerar emoções através da criação de ambientes impactantes. A perspetiva multidimensional da e-EMotion- Capsule permite ao participante experienciar diferentes ambientes criados recorrendo a tecnologias imersivas como o vídeo a 360, ambientes de realidade virtual e plataformas de realidade mista. O participante coloca os óculos RV para interagir com o artefacto e- EMotion-Capsule, passando ele próprio a fazer parte do universo imersivo em que se envolveu. As suas próprias emoções desencadeiam as funções cognitivas de processamento percetivo, simbólico e lógico determinantes para construir a sua interpretação. O artefacto recorre ao inovador conceito de narrativa a 360 em que o movimento do corpo proporciona uma experimentação interativa, autónoma e personalizada, associada a estímulos visuais e sonoros que se fundem com o próprio participante. A arte digital ao incorporar este tipo de narrativa induz o participante a assumir o papel do personagem principal, desencadeando neste a dualidade entre reagir e agir, entre observar e provocar, quebrando a indiferença e gerando inquietação. A construção do artefacto foi validada com um conjunto de testes que incidiram a nível da programação, design de interfaces e aferição da capacidade de gerar emoções. A vivência dentro do universo criado pela e-EMotion-Capsule permite que cada pessoa construa a sua própria experimentação, percorrendo o espaço artístico orientada pelo seu próprio sentido cognitivo., The main goal of the conference is to promote the interest in the current digital culture and its intersection with art and technology as an important research field, and also to create a common space for discussion and exchange of new experiences. It seeks to foster greater understanding about digital arts and culture across a wide spectrum of cultural, disciplinary, and professional practices. To this end, many scholars, teachers, researchers, artists, comput-er professionals, and others who are working within the broadly defined areas of digital arts, culture and education across the world, submitted their innovative work to the conference.

A Arte e a Tecnologia têm a mesma raiz etimológica e apesar de uma convivência nem sempre pacífica, hoje, são vários os domínios em que são indissociáveis. Esta coexistência tornou-se evidente em 1965, quando Georg Nees exibiu na Studio Galerie, um conjunto de obras produzidas em computador e impressas através de uma plotter. Não obstante a tecnologia ser muitas vezes considerada como um mero conjunto de ferramentas que possibilitam ou expandem a criatividade do Artista podem no entanto serem plataformas artísticas per se. A Realidade Aumentada e a Virtual são duas tecnologias que retratam esta situação, sendo simultaneamente um meio e um objeto da produção artística. Neste artigo pretende-se apresentar uma reflexão acerca do potencial destes meios nas artes performativas, tanto na perspetiva do autor/performer, como na perspetiva do espectador., Cadernos IRI: Imagens do Real Imaginado, n. 2 (2016): Cadernos IRI: Imagens do Real Imaginado
