Abstract

Abstract Physical well-being depends essentially on how the own body is perceived. A missing correspondence between the perception of one’s own body and reality can be distressing and eventually lead to mental illness. The touch of the own body is a multi-sensory experience to strengthen the feeling of the own body. We have developed an interaction technique that allows the self-touch of the own body in an immersive environment to support therapy procedures. Through additional visual feedback, we want to strengthen the feeling for the own body to achieve a sustainable effect in the own body perception. We conducted an expert evaluation to analyse the potential impact of our application and to localize and fix possible usability problems. The experts noted the ease of understanding and suitability of the interaction technique for increasing body awareness. However, the technical challenges such as stable and accurate body tracking were also mentioned. In addition, new ideas were given that would further support body awareness.
自我触摸:一种增强身体意识的沉浸式互动技术
身体健康主要取决于人们如何看待自己的身体。一个人对自己身体的感知与现实之间缺失的对应关系可能会令人痛苦,并最终导致精神疾病。触摸自己的身体是一种多感官的体验,以加强自己的身体的感觉。我们已经开发了一种互动技术,允许在沉浸式环境中自我触摸自己的身体来支持治疗过程。通过额外的视觉反馈,我们想要加强对自己身体的感觉,在自己的身体感知中达到持续的效果。我们进行了专家评估,以分析应用程序的潜在影响,并对可能出现的可用性问题进行定位和修复。专家们指出,这种互动技术易于理解,适合提高身体意识。然而,也提到了稳定和准确的身体跟踪等技术挑战。此外,还提出了进一步支持身体意识的新想法。
