Flight of mind: Sensorimotor and multisensory embodiment with aviation robotics, flight simulator, and virtual reality

Normally, humans experience an 'I' as residing in one's body and as the agent of one's actions. In other words, the self is experienced as being inside the body (self-location), as having a body (self-identification), and as being able to control the perso ...

Virtual reality simulation of epiretinal stimulation highlights the relevance of the visual angle in prosthetic vision

Diego Ghezzi, Enrico Migliorini, Jacob Thomas Thorn

Objective. Retinal prostheses hold the potential to restore artificial vision in blind patients suffering from outer retinal dystrophies. The optimal number, density and coverage of the electrodes that a retinal prosthesis should have to provide adequate a ...

PointXR: A Toolbox for Visualization and Subjective Evaluation of Point Clouds in Virtual Reality

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou, Nanyang Yang

In this study, we explore the use of virtual reality to subjectively evaluate the visual quality of point cloud contents. To this aim, we develop the PointXR toolbox, a set of Unity applications that can host experiments under variants of interactive and p ...

Subjective feeling of re‐experiencing past events using immersive virtual reality prevents a loss of episodic memory

Robin Mange, Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Lucie Bréchet, Andrea Serino

Introduction: Personally meaningful past episodes, defined as episodic memories (EM), are subjectively re-experienced from the natural perspective and location of one's own body, as described by bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Neurobiological mechanisms o ...

Multimode Hydraulically Amplified Electrostatic Actuators for Wearable Haptics

Herbert Shea, Ronan Julien Hinchet, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

The sense of touch is underused in today’s virtual reality systems due to lack of wearable, soft, mm-scale transducers to generate dynamic mechanical stimulus on the skin. Extremely thin actuators combining both high force and large displacement are a long ...

On the Influence of the Supine Posture on Simulation Sickness in Virtual Reality

Ronan Boulic

Virtual Reality (VR) has the capability of fully immersing users into a wide variety of gaming experiences where the sole focus of the user is on that experience itself. One problem that often occurs when it comes to VR experiences is that of simulation si ...
