Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, the author focused on cross-modality as an approach to constructing human interface/interaction in VR, and proposed "augmented cross-modality" as a new concept.
Through the proof experiments, the author has obtained various findings about the enhancement of sensory and experiential intensity and the clarification of applications represented in VR space by augmented cross modality.
