Further Considerations on RV Dynamics Illusion on Mixed-Reality Environment

Abstract --We have been studying the illusion phenomenon “R-V Dynamics Illusion”caused by different motional states of real object (R) and virtual object (V). Previously, we discovered a phenomenon that was when superimposing moving virtual liquid on a real object, the weight was perceived as being lighter than an actual object. As a next step, this paper confirmed that the same illusion phenomenon occurred even when the visual stimulus was changed from a liquid to a rigid body. Furthermore, if the visual stimulus is a rigid body, the impressions of the sound and the tactile sense will be strengthened when the object collides with this rigid body, so it is considered that not only the visual stimulus but also the influence of auditory and tactile senses will grow larger. Therefore, we conducted an experiment and analysis to find out what kind of influence be caused to this illusion when we also placed auditory and tactile stimuli.
