Comparative experiment evaluates risk perception in immersive virtual and physical environments, indicating important differences in behavior and cognition.
This study aims to support the use of immersive virtual environment (IVE) simulations for landscape and architectural design, by investigating the validity of its presentation of naturalistic risk in outdoor environments.We conducted a comparative experiment with 20 participants in Daiba park and its virtual UE5 replica, analyzing verbal protocol using the Belief-Desire-Intention framework.Results reveal key divergences in risk relevant responses: a lowered perception of failure, amplified risk and reward perception and increased impulsive actions.Spatial mapping of responses identified the precipice; an element of the IVE that distorted cognitive estimates of risk affecting compliance and navigation.
