Touching with the eyes: oculomotor self-touch induces illusory body ownership

An oculomotor self-touch paradigm showing that voluntary eye movements coupled to tactile feedback can induce illusory body ownership.

Virtual grasping feedback and virtual hand ownership

In this work, we investigate the influence of different visualizations on a manipulation task in virtual reality (VR). Without the haptic feedback of the real world, grasping in VR might result in intersections with virtual objects. As people are …

Peri-personal space as a prior in coupling visual and proprioceptive signals

It has been suggested that the integration of multiple body-related sources of information within the peri-personal space (PPS) scaffolds body ownership. However, a normative computational framework detailing the functional role of PPS is still …

Touch with foreign hands: The effect of virtual hand appearance on visual-haptic integration

Hand tracking and haptics are gaining more importance as key technologies of virtual reality (VR) systems. For designing such systems, it is fundamental to understand how the appearance of the virtual hands influences user experience and how the …

The rubber hand illusion: Feeling of ownership and proprioceptive drift Do not go hand in hand

In the Rubber Hand Illusion, the feeling of ownership of a rubber hand displaced from a participant's real occluded hand is evoked by synchronously stroking both hands with paintbrushes. A change of perceived finger location towards the rubber hand …
