Abstract

In recent years, Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has taken on great relevance in the academic and scientific world, especially in relation to the development of empathy. Virtual Reality (VR) allows taking perspective of others through virtual environments and, through this experience it is plausible to think we can promote empathic capacity. This work is part of an ongoing doctoral research and presents the initial findings about the topic and problem statement through a diagnosis and literature review on VR for the development of empathic responses. Findings include reassertion about the general potential of VR, continuous usage of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) to quantify empathy and, the lack of rigorous evidence to prove VR could be the ultimate empathy machine.
