| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Mixed-Realty (MR) space, the visual appearance of a real object can be changed by superimposing a virtual object on it. Therefore, by creating systematic differences between visual and haptic perceptions using MR technology, we can analyze their influence on temperature perception. In our research group, we defined the changes in the visual information of a real object in MR space as “MR visual stimulation”. For our research, we focused on the pain and temperature perception of the skin. In the first step, we verified the influence presenting MR visual stimulation has on the perceived position of the pain and temperature perception. In the experiment, we presented MR visual stimulation and haptic stimulation in different positions. We confirmed the influence this difference has on the temperature perceived position. Our results demonstrate that pain and temperature perception is strongly affected by visual stimulation.
