The Gamification Group is inviting you to participate in research investigating social conflict interaction scenarios. The study will make use of state-of-the-art VR technologies such as the Varjo Aero VR headset, as well as physiological devices to measure skin conductance and heart rate throughout the experience.  All participants will be compensated with one Finnkino cinema ticket.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE:

Participants need to be male, generally healthy, English speakers, at least 18 years old, have normal or corrected vision (contact lenses are fine, glasses are not supported yet unfortunately) and hearing.
