Trabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Exatas, Departamento de Ciência da Computação, 2021.To guarantee a good experience in virtual reality
is of interest to both industry and the scientific community.
That made the interest in understanding the body ownership
illusion increase. This research evaluates two types of visual-
tactile asynchronies to better understand the limits of the
illusion. First, a virtual environment was designed to induce
the volunteers into the illusion. Following that, some visual-
tactile asynchronies were inserted throughout the experiment.
The majority of volunteers did not report any interruption of the
illusion where it was expected to happen, i.e., where asynchronies
were purposefully added in a try to break the illusion. Analyzing
the data collected, it was possible to conclude that the body
ownership illusion is stronger than anticipated. It is so strong, in
fact, that it is conjectured that there is some sort of alternative
rationalization happening in the volunteers’ minds to make sense
of the mismatches between the expected sensory inputs and the
actual ones. Or, at least, something similar to this effect
