Publisher Copyright: © 2023 Owner/Author.This paper proposes an empirical framework that aims to classify difficulty according to the player's physiological response. As part of the experimental protocol, a simple puzzle-based Virtual Reality (VR) videogame with three levels of difficulty was developed, each targeting a distinct region of the valence-arousal space. A study involving 32 participants was conducted, during which physiological responses (EDA, ECG, Respiration), were measured alongside emotional ratings, which were self-assessed using the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) during gameplay. Statistical analysis of the self-reports verified the effectiveness of the three levels in eliciting different emotions. Furthermore, classification using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) was performed to predict difficulty considering the physiological responses associated with each level. Results report an overall F1-score of 74.05% in detecting the three levels of difficulty, which validates the adopted methodology and encourages further research with a larger dataset.ACM - Association for Computing MachineryDF – Departamento de FísicaLIBPhys-UNLRUNRodrigues, PedroFonseca, MicaelaLopes, Phil2023-07-14T22:08:13Z2023-042023-04-01T00:00:00Zconference objectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion4application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/155271eng978-145039856-5PURE: 66001122https://doi.org/10.1145/3582437.3587187info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-22T18:12:57Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/155271Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:43:32.476458Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
