Title
3DUI and the Phantom Limb - multisensory experience for embodiment of amputation.
Abstract
In the context of the 3DUI Contest promoted by the IEEE VR 2020, we propose an application to allow users to experience having an amputated arm. By providing both visual and haptic feedback, our application offers a multisensory experience to enhance the sense of embodiment. The user of our application should still feel their real limb attached to their bodies, and yet see their virtual avatar and interact with the virtual environment as an amputee. A simple task of handling and positioning objects in a table is proposed for the users to experience the difficulties of having a missing arm. As most amputees have the sensation that an amputated or missing limb is still attached, our application should allow users to experience the same feeling.
