Abstract Vection refers to the illusory self-motion perception mainly induced by the motion of a visual stimulus. This phenomenon concerns presence and immersion in the illusion of self-motion, especially in virtual reality. In the present study, we investigated how the real-life meaning of stimuli contributes to vection by using ...

Vection induced by a pair of patches of synchronized visual motion stimuli covering total field of views as small as 10 square-degrees

i-Perception, 2023
Vection (illusion of self-motion) is known to be induced by watching large field-of-view (FOV) moving scenes. In our study, we investigated vection induced by small FOV stimuli.
