Previous studies have suggested that experiences in VR can replace the experiences in real life. However, it is possible that the experience in real may affect the "presence" of experience in VR. Previous studies have shown that time evaluation does not differ between VR and reality. The purpose of this study was to examine whether there was a difference in the time evaluation when experiencing bungee jump in VR depending on whether bungee jump was experienced.
Participants were asked to put on a Head-Mounted Display to enjoy the bungee jump in VR and to measure the time until they rebound in bungee jump in VR.
As a result, it has been found that those who have ever experienced bungee jump evaluate time longer in bungee jump in VR than those who have not. We further discuss the result from the viewpoint of time estimation.
