Dr Adinda van ‘t Klooster received support from the Manchester Game Centre for her launch of the Emote VR Voicer project (2024–2027) and closing event of the Singing Graphics in VR exhibition at the Holden Gallery. People booked in to experience one of two VR artworks (VRoar or the AudioVirtualizer) and filled in a questionnaire before and after. This helped to assess if there was any change in positive or negative emotion as a result from the artwork. The data is now being analysed and submitted for publication by the project team. The main findings were that positive emotion significantly increased for singers experiencing VRoar and for non-singers experiencing the AudioVirtualizer.
