Outline of Final Research Achievements	The final goal of this research is to extend human ability so that one can perform control of additional artificial arms. In this study, we tried to generate body ownership transfer (BOT) to artificial limbs. We implemented an artificial limb using augumented reality (AR) system and performed experiments. As a result, we found that BOT occured to AR limbs as well and interaction with real-world objects enhances BOT.
