- This paper experimentally evaluates the use of Virtual Reality in proxemics by examining the impact of crowd density on user experience through large crown simulations. This work is significant as it allows for the elicitation of negative user experience such as stress and anxiety in large crowds but through the medium of Virtual Reality, something which has not been evaluated previously. This innovative research allows us to evaluate if Virtual Reality can illicit large crowd negative effects and thereby provide an effective method of testing user experience in a controlled and safe environment.
