The possibility of implementing ‘we-mode’ among users in cyber spaces, which is proposed by Kitazaki, is discussed by reviewing the studies on body ownership and the sense of agency, both of which are strongly involved in self-body perception and recognition. The movement of a body in cyber space should strongly correlate with that in the physical space, but not necessary be rendered as realistic. Furthermore, the interaction and relationship between the spaces from the point of view of both a sense of realistic self-body in a cyber space and behavior changes after an experience in a cyber space are discussed to consider the possibility of creating ‘we-mode’ bridging of the physical and cyber spaces.
