The Effects of Indirectly Implied Real Body Cues to Virtual Body Ownership and Presence in a Virtual Reality Environment
Sungchul Jung, Charles E. Hughes · 2016
While direct associations, such as through visual, audio and tactile senses, play an obvious role in giving a person a perception of body presence in an immersive virtual environment, indirect implied cues can also be effective factors in providing the illusion of reality. Thus, as the direct use of implied association can arouse desired illusions of reality, we believed the indirect associations also has effects that can similarly arouse such illusions in virtual settings. In this paper, we report on an experiment we conducted to explore the effects of indirect implication of a participant's body parts to virtual body ownership and presence.
