Outline of Final Research Achievements

By our technology as extension of the human body, it has shown "virtual body ownership changes to a new image including artifacts" rather than "the ownership feeling transfers to artifacts" which has been confirmed in the previous research. Our technology is constructed by transmitting tactile stimuli and estimating human behavioral intentions. For estimating human behavioral intentions, by using "physical response under conscious" which is easier to measure than biological information such as brain waves, it is possible to estimate the acceleration response of the shoulder or the knee which is not the subjective movement part in the original limb movement The presence or absence of the intention of the additional body motion was detected, and the added motion intention of the body was estimated using this.
