Abstract

In this research, we explore and measure situated empathy. We focus on the hardships of an international community in a foreign country using a virtual reality experiment. Our aim is to facilitate a better understanding of an international community’s quality of life and unique difficulties in a society. To this end, we designed a VR experiment with three main stages: data collection, a pre-experiment questionnaire and a post-experiment questionnaire with a concluding interview.
