EEG signature of breaks in embodiment in VR

Olaf Blanke, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ronan Boulic, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Bruno Herbelin, Fumiaki Iwane, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

The brain mechanism of embodiment in a virtual body has grown a scientific interest recently, with a particular focus on providing optimal virtual reality (VR) experiences. Disruptions from an embodied state to a less- or non-embodied state, denominated Br ...

Les Cahiers de l'Ibois 3 / Ibois Notebook 3

Petras Vestartas, Sandra Vuilleumier

Before the twentieth century and concrete modernity, it was stone that embodied the “well built”. Could sustainable wood one day replace concrete as the archetypal material? Will it find a place on the scale of values that gives archi- tecture its referenc ...

Engram cell connectivity: an evolving substrate for information storage

Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli

Understanding memory requires an explanation for how information can be stored in the brain in a stable state. The change in the brain that accounts for a given memory is referred to as an engram. In recent years, the term engram has been operationalized a ...

Radical Intangibles: Materializing the Ephemeral

Sarah Irene Brutton Kenderdine, Lillian Hibberd

New materialism considers that the world and its histories are produced by a range of material forces that extend from the physical and the biological to the psychological, social and cultural. In recognizing that heritage is not held in objects alone, new ...

Adapting Virtual Embodiment through Reinforcement Learning

Olaf Blanke, Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

In Virtual Reality, having a virtual body opens a wide range of possibilities as the participant's avatar can appear to be quite different from oneself for the sake of the targeted application (e.g. for perspective-taking). In addition, the system can part ...

Reenactment and Intangible Heritage Strategies for Embodiment and Transmission in Museums

Sarah Irene Brutton Kenderdine

This article is focused on the interplay of different forms of intangibility (living heritage and reenactment heritage) and the way technologically enabled practices might reshape the role and transformation of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in museums ...

Context effects on probability estimation

Wei-Hsiang Lin

Many decisions rely on how we evaluate potential outcomes and estimate their corresponding probabilities of occurrence. Outcome evaluation is subjective because it requires consulting internal preferences and is sensitive to context. In contrast, probabili ...

Omnidirectional Strategies for Exploring Ancient Cities and Territories

Sarah Irene Brutton Kenderdine

By focusing on technologies of virtual reality in conjunction with theories of “place” and “presence,” this chapter outlines the importance of new approaches to the museological experience and exploration of ancient cities and cultural heritage sites. Expl ...

A Too to Design Interactive Characters Based on Embodied Cognition

Ronan Boulic, Joan Llobera Mahy

Creating interactive characters is one of the most challenging tasks of videogame design. In order to facilitate such an endeavor, we introduce a decisional and behavior synthesis architecture integrated in the game engine Unity3D. A distinguishing feature ...

Embodied Flight with a Drone

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Alexandre Thierry Cherpillod

Most human-robot interfaces, such as joysticks and keyboards, require training and constant cognitive effort and provide a limited degree of awareness of the robots’ state and its environment. Embodied interactions, that is the bidirectional link between t ...

Increased Neural Strength and Reliability to Audiovisual Stimuli at the Boundary of Peripersonal Space

Andrea Serino

The actionable space surrounding the body, referred to as peripersonal space (PPS), has been the subject of significant interest of late within the broader framework of embodied cognition. Neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies have shown the represen ...

Reconciling Being in-Control vs. Being Helped for the Execution of Complex Movements in VR

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

Performing motor tasks in virtual environments is best achieved with motion capture and animation of a 3D character that participants control in real time and perceive as being their avatar in the virtual environment. A strong Sense of Embodiment (SoE) for ...

Jacket for embodied interaction with virtual or distal robotic device

David Atienza Alonso, Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Fabio Isidoro Tiberio Dell'Agnola, Carine Rognon, Alice Ghislaine Concordel

A system for interacting with a remote object comprising a wearable jacket for a user, two actuators for supporting arms of the user, motors for causing movements to at least one of a torso and the arms of the user, and sensors for measuring at least one o ...

The multiple lives of the “Unité d’Habitation” (1945-1967-2017). Repetition of their iconic value and differences in the construction systems, from their development to their case histories

Franz Graf

The Unités d’Habitation designed by Le Corbusier and André Wogenscky represent an exceptional moment in the development of the culture of housing in the 20th century1. Five examples of them were built – at Marseilles (1945-1952), Rezé (1948-1955), Berlin ( ...

Characterizing first and third person viewpoints and their alternation for embodied interaction in virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Henrique Galvan Debarba, Sidney Bovet

Empirical research on the bodily self has shown that the body representation is malleable, and prone to manipulation when conflicting sensory stimuli are presented. Using Virtual Reality (VR) we assessed the effects of manipulating multisensory feedback (f ...

Embodiment Sensitivity to Movement Distortion and Perspective Taking in Virtual Reality

Henrique Galvan Debarba

Despite recent technological improvements of immersive technologies, Virtual Reality suffers from severe intrinsic limitations, in particular the immateriality of the visible 3D environment. Typically, any simulation and manipulation in a cluttered environ ...

Embodied interaction using non-planar projections in immersive virtual reality

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Henrique Galvan Debarba, Sami Perrin

In this paper we evaluate the use of non-planar projections as a means to increase the Field of View (FoV) in embodied Virtual Reality (VR). Our main goal is to bring the virtual body into the user’s FoV and to understand how this affects the virtual body/ ...

SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE CITY: THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL INNOVATION AS EMOTIONAL COGNITION OF URBAN SPACE

Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

The ubiquitous upsurge of urban protests around the world In the last years seems to contradict the equally growing production of literature that deals with the city as a scene of conflict and a device for the production of segregation, reminding us of the ...

Imagined own-body transformations during passive self-motion

Olaf Blanke, Michiel van Elk

Spatial perspective taking is a crucial social skill that underlies many of our everyday interactions. Previous studies have suggested that spatial perspective taking is an embodied process that involves the integration of both motor and proprioceptive inf ...
