First person experience of body transfer in virtual reality.
Mel Slater,Mel Slater,Bernhard Spanlang,Bernhard Spanlang,Maria V. Sanchez-Vives,Olaf Blanke +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a first person perspective of a life-sized virtual human female body that appears to substitute the male subjects' own bodies was sufficient to generate a body transfer illusion, supporting the notion that bottom-up perceptual mechanisms can temporarily override top down knowledge resulting in a radical illusion of transfer of body ownership.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual reality in the assessment, understanding, and treatment of mental health disorders.
Daniel Freeman,Sarah Reeve,A Robinson,Anke Ehlers,David M. Clark,Bernhard Spanlang,Mel Slater +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that VR has the potential to transform the assessment, understanding and treatment of mental health problems, and the treatment possibilities will only be realized if the best immersive VR technology is combined with targeted translational interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual Hand Illusion Induced by Visuomotor Correlations
Maria V. Sanchez-Vives,Bernhard Spanlang,Antonio Frisoli,Massimo Bergamasco,Mel Slater,Mel Slater,Mel Slater +6 more
TL;DR: Synchrony between visual and proprioceptive information along with motor activity is able to induce an illusion of ownership over a virtual arm, which has implications regarding the brain mechanisms underlying body ownership as well as the use of virtual bodies in therapies and rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immersive journalism: Immersive virtual reality for the first-person experience of news
Nonny de la Peòa,Peggy Weil,Joan Llobera,Bernhard Spanlang,Doron Friedman,Maria V. Sanchez-Vives,Mel Slater +6 more
TL;DR: Current approaches to immersive journalism and the theoretical background supporting claims regarding avatar experience in immersive systems are surveyed and a specific demonstration is provided: giving participants the experience of being in an interrogation room in an offshore prison.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual Realism Enhances Realistic Response in an Immersive Virtual Environment - Part 2
TL;DR: Results show that subjective presence was higher for theRT environment than for the RC one and that higher stress was induced in the RT environment compared to theRC one.
