From emotion to toolset: How can the effect of Liminal Spaces, a design toolset for 3D visualisations, be utilised to specifically control affective reactions?

!!Hello Hello!! Thank you for taking your Time in this Survey! 

This survey is part of a scientific bachelor's thesis that investigates how specific spaces and their visual properties/parameters evoke emotions in people.

You will be shown images of various spaces and asked to share your spontaneous reactions and impressions. :):):):). Dont forget to scroll down to see all of the Questions!!

With that you help me focus on the most important parameters to build 3D Renders for my Thesis.

There are no right or wrong answers – your personal, honest perception is what matters.

Duration: approximately 10-15 minutes.

Data Usage: All data is collected anonymously and used exclusively for scientific purposes.

Prior Knowledge and Media Consumption

If you are NOT familiar with one or both of these terms, please read this brief explanation:

Liminal Spaces are transitional spaces – places that are normally full of people but appear empty (e.g., empty school hallways, abandoned shopping malls, hotel corridors at night). They feel both familiar and strange at the same time.


The Backrooms are a subcategory of liminal spaces and also a internet phenomenon: endless, maze-like office spaces with yellowish walls, old carpet, and humming fluorescent lights. You can accidentally "slip"/ "no-Clip" into them and find no way out. In the start there was only one Floor, over Time The Fandom added Floors, Themed similar to Liminal Spaces.
