ABSTRACT
The experiment described in this paper is performed within a system that provides a human with the possibility and capability to be physically immersed in the body of an android robot, Geminoid HI-2. The participant, through the swapped body of Geminoid HI-2, is able to see his/her own body in front of themselves like a reflection in a mirror -- then they can touch their own body by the hands of the Geminoid HI-2. We are investigating how the sense of body-ownership is generated during visual and tactile tests and how the presence of agency impacts one's body-ownership.

Evaluating the Sense of Embodiment through Out-of-Body Experience and Tactile Feedback
VRCAI '22: Proceedings of the 18th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in IndustryOut-of-body experience (OBE) is generated by sensory disintegration. In virtual reality (VR), we can provide OBE to people by switching the first-person perspective (1PP) to the third-person perspective (3PP). Generally, 1PP is the choice for high body ...
