With the spread of virtual reality (VR) attractions, vector generation techniques that enhance the sense of realism are gaining attention. Additionally, mixed reality (MR) at- tractions, which overlay VR onto a real-world display, are expected to become more prevalent in the future. However, with MR, it is impossible to move all the coordinates of the visual stimuli to generate proper vection effects. Therefore, we have created an optical illusion method that provides a three-dimensional impression of a two-dimensional visual stimulation. This technique amplifies the sensation of vertical movement by placing the illusion on the floor.
In providing a VR experience of carousel, a motion platform that only moves up and down about 10 cm and a dynamic optical illusion image laid on the floor are presented on the HMD, which allows the user to experience about 3 times the actual up and down movement. We are studying to what extent the sensation of vertical motion varies depending on the type of illusion, body position, and the type of MR image from VR images.
