  HOMERIC: Hybridization of methOds for Modeling ExpeRIenCe in interactive systems

  Affordances Experience analysis and modelling VR and Psychotherapy Virtual Reality

  Our goal is to propose concepts, methods, and models for the study of user experience in virtual reality. We explore an hybrid approach that associates qualitative and quantitative methods, particularly first and third person methods. Our applicative aim is to build an affordance-based VR environment for elicitating several Rdoc dimensions associated to depression.

The Revistim platform consists in several hardware devices and software tools for the immersion of subjects, the collection of various subjective, physiological and behavioral data as well as the use of new psychotherapeutic systems. The platform is used both for research in neuro-psychiatry (diagnosis, rehabilitation and treatment) and user experience modeling. Considering care, the main objective is to propose personalized care in psychiatry through the assessment of the patient state, the priorisation of targeted interventions, and an efficient evaluation of the VR therapy on the different dimensions of the disease.
