Recently, I have published a co-authored paper at the 3rd IEEE Conference on Games sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. The paper was entitled ‘Do 3D Visual Illusions Work for Immersive Virtual Environments?’ and examined the perception of visual illusions in three-dimensional space. Six diverse visual illusions were implemented for both immersive virtual reality and monitor based environments.
A user-study with 30 healthy participants took place in laboratory conditions comparing the perceptual effects of the two different mediums. Experimental data were collected from both a simple ordering method and electrical activity of the brain. Results showed that only some of the illusions have a stronger effect in immersive VR, others in monitor-based environments while the rest with no significant effects.
