Exploring Human Perception Using Virtual Reality
Résumé
Immersive technologies have seen a great expansion in the last decade and researchers from several disciplines have focused on exploring virtual reality and the way it can affect human perception. Virtual reality is a unique medium which has the ability to transfer the user from the physical environment to a digitally created illusion of space, events and interactions which mimic real life. In this paper, some basic concepts of perception in virtual reality are introduced, followed by the summary of our research which primarily focused on the perception of virtual agents. Our method is based on the concept of interpersonal distance when people meet in social settings and where the distances they keep between each other signal the nature of their relationship. We studied these distances to evaluate realism, attractiveness and even personality traits of virtual agents in virtual reality. We discuss how our results can give valuable insights into the human mind and how we can use this knowledge for training and rehabilitation applications in virtual reality.
