Investigating induction of Body Ownership Illusion over bird avatar

Abstract

Sense which is experienced one body as own body is called sense of body ownership. Normally, we perceive a sense of body ownership over own body. Nevertheless, previous work has reported we can experience avatar as own body. This illusion is called Body Ownership Illusion. Our research investigated relationship with visuo-motor synchrony, perspective and avatar's height in terms of sense of body ownership. Our findings result in visuo-motor synchrony and first person perspective are main factor regarding inducing sense of body ownership over bird avatar.
