Development of the system inducing Kinesthetic Illusion with movies and reflection

Abstract

In recent years, the kinesthetic illusion has been used in rehabilitation to recover from paralysis. In addition, there are several studies suggesting that the stretch reflex is also effective in rehabilitation. Therefore, in this study, we created a system that induces the kinesthetic illusion by presenting the VR image and the stretch reflex at the same time. The results suggest that in order to induce the kinesthetic illusion, it is necessary for the movement of the subject and the movement of the video to match at the position level. It was also suggested that adding a device of attention could increase the sense of physical possession.
