Dataset for "Sweating the Details: Emotion Recognition and the Influence of Physical Exertion in Virtual Reality Exergaming" and EmoSense SDK

All the raw participant data that was used for the EmoSense SDK and the CHI 2024 paper "Sweating the Details: Emotion Recognition and the Influence of Physical Exertion in Virtual Reality Exergaming". There is data for 72 participants.

Each participant has 10 csv files: 2 aggregated calibration, 2 raw calibration, 3 raw study - These files contain sensor measures under different conditions - and 3 affect response files - participant ground truth measures of affect.

Questionnaire_Data contains post exercise-bout measures of intrinsic motivation and flow.

Baseline_Affect_Data is prestudy participant ground truth affect measures.

Aggregated_Data contains an aggregate file of all participant data that was used for the analysis described in the CHI paper.

Data collection method:

For the methodology and apparatus of the data collection, please refer to the paper.

Technical details and requirements:

The VR exergame developed for this study, required participants to cycle on a stationary Wahoo KICKR exercise bike while wearing a Vive Pro Eye VR headset. Physiological measures were collected using the eye tracker in the VR headset (pupillometry), a Shimmer3 GSR+ tethered to a participant's middle and ring finger (EDA), a Polar H10 HR monitor chest strap (HR and HRV), and a Vive face tracker (facial tracking). All physiological measures were sent to a PC (Intel 13900K, Nvidia GTX 4090 and 64GB of DDR5 RAM) running the Unity VR exergame over Bluetooth (BLE protocol), which recorded all measures at a sample rate of 40-50 Hz using the EmoSense.
