DescriptionBeing An Avatar is a free virtual reality application which allows you to experience and learn about illusions of embodiment.
Application consists of six VR scenes, all based on Body Ownership Illusion. Each scene is designed to demonstrate a phenomenon related to body perception.
- Elongated limbs: This scene demonstrates, how your bodily experience is dependent on visual information about the body. When the virtual arm becomes longer, many people begin to feel that their real hand is elongated too.
- Shrinking body: How your perception of external world is linked to the perception of your own body? We treat our bodies as a reference in judging distances and sizes of objects around us.
- Being touched: How your perception of touch is related to vision? How visual information about touch influences your tactile experience?
- Out of body experience: How your body perception is related to a first-person perspective? Does ownership of the virtual body change when you see it from the outside?
- Third hand: How motor knowledge is acquired, and how you can embody virtual bodies which deviate from the human template?
- Navigating two bodies: Agency and ownership are two separate cognitive processes. It is possible to have a feeling of agency over a virtual body without the illusion of ownership?
