Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the shape of the objects and the subjective weight perception, and to develop a method to influence the weight perception. For this aim, two experiments investigated the hypothesis that there is an error between actual weight and subjective weight perception. Experiment A consisted of two evaluation conditions for weight perception, using visual and lifting senses. Five objects were used, each of a different shape, but otherwise the same appearance, all being of the same colour. Experiment B developed a method to change the subjective weight perception. The visual results from experiment A, were the sphere appeared the most light and the next was cone, cylinder, square based pyramid, and cube the heaviest. However, a sphere was felt the heaviest object by lifting senses. In experiment B, weight perception was greatly influenced by adding lines or curves to the objects.
