Investigating Size Congruency Between the Visual Perception of a VR Object and the Haptic Perception of Its Physical World Agent

Abstract

The perception of physical objects and miniatures enhances the realism and immersion in VR. This work explores the relationship between haptic feedback from real objects and their visual representations in VR. The study examines how users confirm and adjust the sizes of different virtual objects. The results show that as the size of the virtual cubes increases, users are less likely to perceive the size correctly and need more adjustments. This research provides insights into how haptic sensations and visual inputs interact, contributing to the understanding of visual-haptic illusions in VR environments.
