Virtual Reality (VR) is used for a variety of applications ranging from
entertainment to psychological medicine. VR has been demonstrated to influence
higher order cognitive functions and cortical plasticity, with implications on
phobia and stroke treatment. An integral part for successful VR is a high sense
of presence - a feeling of 'being there' in the virtual scenario. The underlying
cognitive and perceptive functions causing presence in VR scenarios are however
not completely known. It is evident that the brain function is influenced by
drugs, such as ethanol, potentially confounding cortical plasticity, also in VR.
As ethanol is ubiquitous and forms part of daily life, understanding the effects
of ethanol on presence and user experience, the attitudes and emotions about
using VR applications, is important. This exploratory study aims at contributing
towards an understanding of how low-dose ethanol intake influences presence, user
experience and their relationship in a validated VR context. It was found that
low-level ethanol consumption did influence presence and user experience, but on
a minimal level. In contrast, correlations between presence and user experience
were strongly influenced by low-dose ethanol. Ethanol consumption may
consequently alter cognitive and perceptive functions related to the connections
between presence and user experience.
