The impairment of a person's decision-making is a common goal of gambling games. Given the recent trend of gambling using immersive Virtual Reality it is crucial to investigate the effects of both immersion and the virtual environment (VE) on decision-making. In a novel user study, we measured decision-making using three virtual versions of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). The versions differed with regard to the degree of immersion and design of the virtual environment. While emotions affect decision-making, we further measured the positive and negative affect of participants. A higher visual angle on a stimulus leads to an increased emotional response. Thus, we kept the visual angle on the Iowa Gambling Task the same between our conditions. Our results revealed no significant impact of immersion or the VE on the IGT. We further found no significant difference between the conditions with regard to positive and negative affect. This suggests that neither the medium used nor the design of the VE causes an impairment of decision-making. However, in combination with a recent study, we provide first evidence that a higher visual angle on the IGT leads to an effect of impairment.}, language = {en} } @techreport{SavvidisRothTutsch2022, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Savvidis, Dimitrios and Roth, Robert and Tutsch, Dietmar}, title = {Static Evaluation of a Wheel-Topology for an SDN-based Network Usecase}, series = {W{\"u}rzburg Workshop on Next-Generation Communication Networks (WueWoWas'22)}, journal = {W{\"u}rzburg Workshop on Next-Generation Communication Networks (WueWoWas'22)}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-28071}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-280715}, pages = {3}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The increased occurrence of Software-Defined-Networking (SDN) not only improves the dynamics and maintenance of network architectures, but also opens up new use cases and application possibilities.
