ABSTRACT
Understanding how humans perceive their rate of translational locomotion through the world is important for designing virtual environments. People have access to two primary classes of cues that can provide information about their movement through the environment: Visual and auditory cues (e.g. optic flow, optical expansion, Doppler shift) and somatosensory cues (e.g. effort, proprioceptive feedback.) An important research question is the relative weighting of these cues for perceiving the rate of translational movement in a virtual environment.

Spatio-Temporal Prediction Modulates the Perception of Self-Produced Stimuli
We investigated why self-produced tactile stimulation is perceived as less intense than the same stimulus produced externally.A tactile stimulus on the palm of the right hand was either externally produced, by a robot or self-produced by the subject. In ...
Tuning Self-Motion Perception in Virtual Reality with Visual Illusions
Motion perception in immersive virtual environments significantly differs from the real world. For example, previous work has shown that users tend to underestimate travel distances in virtual environments (VEs). As a solution to this problem, ...
Cognitive factors can influence self-motion perception (vection) in virtual reality
Research on self-motion perception and simulation has traditionally focused on the contribution of physical stimulus properties (“bottom-up factors”) using abstract stimuli. Here, we demonstrate that cognitive (“top-down”) mechanisms like ecological ...
