An examination of weight illusion by adding visual effects on the arm
Shota Muraishi, Mie Sato, Naoki Hashimoto · 2023
In this study, we investigate the weight illusion produced by changing the impression of an arm by displaying visual effects on an avatar's arm superimposed on its own arm. We have confirmed that visual changes using virtual arms produce an illusion of weight in comparisons between different weight conditions. It was pointed out that differences in the impression of the weight of the arm itself due to differences in the appearance of the virtual arms may affect the perception of weight. In this paper, we examine the effect of changes in the impression of arm strength on the perception of weight by changing the impression of the arm by visual effects that do not affect the impression of the arm's weight.
