- Abstract
- Designing 4D effects corresponding to audiences' emotional responses is important because 4D effects are critical components of 4D movies that provide rich emotional experiences. The recent increasing popularity of 4D content has led to the development of motion effect technology, which involves motions of the chair according to the scene. However, it is difficult to find studies that systematically investigated the influence of motion effects on audiences' emotional responses. This study investigated the emotional responses of a 4D movie audience to motion effects according to their level of empathy. Participants (mean: 25.0 years, standard deviation: 5.0) with varying levels of empathy watched movie clips provided with or without single pitch motion effects. The degree that the motion effect and empathy affected the elicited emotions differed depending on the emotion type. For example, participants with high empathy reported stronger intensity of fear when short and weak motion effects were exhibited than when there was no motion effect. Distinct motion effect design guidelines that can be adopted to enhance audiences’ emotional experiences were proposed. The findings can be referred to when investigating the emotional responses of 4D movie audiences. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
