Preventing Breaks in Embodiment in Immersive Virtual Reality

Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

Virtual reality (VR) is immersive not only because of visual integration, but because we can act and perform in a virtual environment (VE). Beyond the mere fact that a VR system provides images computed directly from the users' viewpoint in stereoscopy, it ...
