Download Master's Proposal (PDF , .doc )

This project revolves around using the eMotiv EPOC headset to measure and evaluate the emotional effectiveness of visual storytelling techniques, and the effect of emotional feedback on users. The project consists of an animated dialog tree that takes the emotional data gathered from the player, and plugs it back into the system, causing the non-player character (NPC) to react to the player's emotional state. The scene is constructed in Unity.

Updates to come soon!
