Pseudo physical contact is used for communication in virtual environments such as VRChat. We hypothesized that the pseudo physical contact could affect interpersonal impression and communication, and the interpersonal impression would be modulated by appearance of body or avatar type. To test these hypotheses, we performed a questionnaire survey for VRChat users (N=341). In results, interpersonal impression and communication difficulty were improved after the pseudo physical contact, but the avatar type did not modulate the interpersonal impression. These results suggest that the pseudo physical contact could improve the interpersonal impression and communication in virtual environments.

When a head is equipped with a hanger made of wire sideways, and its temporal region is sandwiched by the hanger, the head rotates unexpectedly. We named the phenomenon "Hanger Reflex", and we have studied this phenomenon to understand its mechanism and to show the possibility of utilizing the phenomenon as a human interface or for rehabilitation. In this paper, we evaluated that the necessary conditions of the Hanger Reflex are compressions to temporofromtal region of the head and its counter position. We also developed an interface that can induce head rotation by Hanger Reflex, without giving pain to the user.

The robust sensory interface with limited information is demanded in virtual reality. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of research applying the characteristics of integrated perception, which involves processing sensory information through the brain from the outside world to form perceptions and cognitions. This paper reviews the findings of synaesthesia, crossmodal correspondences, and multisensory integration, which is discussed as the integrated perception, from two perspectives: the characteristics and the underlying mechanisms. We also discussed the possibility of applying the findings of integrated perception to the multi-sensory interface.

Projection mapping to the dining table has been introduced in multiple restaurants. Does this kind of change in eating environment with projection mapping work only for entertainment? In this study, we examined whether changes in eating environment with projection mapping actually change the thermal/olfactory/taste perception and palatability of food. Tempura was chosen as a food, which has distinctive texture, aroma and taste, and has a strong tie with a specific eating environment in Japan, and a projection mapping system was constructed to project images and sounds to simulate a counter in a tempura restaurant around tempura. Through two experiments using this system, we suggested that the aroma, temperature, taste strength and palatability of the tempura improved by the effect of the projection mapping. We also suggested that the linguistic information related to tempura also enhances these perception, but the effect is weaker than the one of change in eating environment with projection mapping. These results suggested that change in eating environment with projection mapping helps to perceive the sensory information expected to be obtained in the environment.

Existing studies have reported that the Full Body Ownership Illusion let users perceive a virtual body as our own body. It has also revealed the Proteus Effect that avatars’ appearance could affect user’s behavior, attitude and mental condition by inducing the Full Body Ownership Illusion. While many studies have focused on a humanoid avatar and its psychological effects, a previous study has reported that the Full Body Ownership Transfer can be induced even in the case of an animal avatar. In case of inducing the Full Body Ownership Transfer on an animal avatar, it can be expected to induce the psychological effect different from the one by a human avatar. Hence, this study examines a dragon avatar, which has impression of strong body and flight ability, can reduce the fear of height as the Proteus Effect by the Full Body Ownership Transfer. We carried out an experiment with some scenarios where a subject transformed into a dragon and flied into a height, comparing with operating a human avatar. The results showed that transforming into the dragon avatar can improve subjective score and physiological reaction for the fear of height.

How detailed feature of virtual world could be seen by the actual user is an important performance of VR display system, such as Head Mounted Display (HMD). The average or standard user's eyesight in a virtual world could be regarded as a performance index of the VR display system in terms of resolution. This paper aims to show the way to obtain the theoretical value of eyesight from the specifications of components that form an VR display system. This is obtained by synthesizing the total performance of an VR display system's from those of components and by comparing that with standard user's contrast sensitivity function. Through the example estimations, the valid region of the equivalent eyesight from pixel pitch, a new simple conversion from blur size to eyesight were provided.

We propose a system to prevent identification of an individual identity by changing the size and position of one's facial regions. Invasion of privacy and the right of publicity have been a problem along with the popularization of social media and improvement of image resolution. The mosaic and the blur have been used to prevent identification of a person's identity. These techniques, however, make people difficult to understand the context of the video, because the facial expressions of the characters and the background in the video are masked. In this paper, we focus on naturally conversing the facial appearance in images for protecting their privacy. We examined the proper degree of facial changing parameters, and performed user studies to evaluate these parameters.

In recent years, utilizing of an avatar is becoming popular at social VR contents. On the other hand, previous studies have reported that an avatar gives us positive effect in terms of the sense of immersion, a psychological effect, and the spatial awareness. Thus, we investigate how the avatar which a virtual body is used daily in social VR contents impact on the body ownership and the Quality of Experience, comparing with a realistic humanoid avatar. Our results show that the self-avatar can improve the sense of body ownership and the sense of immersion.

Most game players want to improve their skills, but if they don't sense improvement they'll give up playing. So, we suggest a new way of dynamically adjusting a game's difficulty, in a way that is transparent to the player. In an experiment with a platforming game that focuses on jumping and hitting a target, players felt they were becoming better at the game instead of noticing the decrease in difficulty.

"Astral Body" is an art installation for viewers to reveal the origin of life by showing the sense of life. A dead body and an artificial sign of life with dead matter are presented so that the viewers could think of relationship of the two. Astral Body has a kinetic surface made with ferromagnetic powder to present creature-like movements and human interaction. We have expressed the movements by using an automatic running robot with a magnet. Through the exhibitions, we have collected reactions and opinions from the attendees, and observed them. In this paper, we will conclude the overview, concept, design, implementation, and outcomes from the exhibitions.

This study aims to develop a method that enables the person to accept recommended make-up looks positively as the make-ups looking suit them. Participants made up with a make-up simulator using face images otherized from their self-face perceived as a different person’s face so that they have a holistic view of their self-faces. After repeating make-up on the modified faces, their impression on the recommended make-up style was improved. However, participants who repeated made-up on the original self-face did not show the improvement of impression. This result supports the possibility that the intervention of make-up on a modified self-face could improve voluntary positive acceptance of the make-up change.
