Automatic Evocation of Rubber Hand Illusion using a Laptop Computer and Vibrator

Abstract

In recent years, many devices have been developed for stroked patients to evoke pseudo experiences through the movement of their paralyzed limbs in virtual reality. These systems require immersive environments, such as head mounted displays or large booths, which are highly expensive. Therefore, this study focuses on rubber hand illusion (RHI) to create immersive environments without expensive setups. We propose an automatic evocation of RHI using a laptop computer and vibrator to develop simple immersive environments.
