Item Feedback on In-flight Applications of Virtual Reality to Enhance Comfort in Future Aircraft(The Eurographics Association, 2014) D'Cruz, Mirabelle; Patel, Harshada; Lewis, Laura; Cobb, Sue; Jerome Perret and Valter Basso and Francesco Ferrise and Kaj Helin and Vincent Lepetit and James Ritchie and Christoph Runde and Mascha van der Voort and Gabriel ZachmannThe European funded project VR-HYPERSPACE (FP7-AAT-2011-1-285681 www.vr-hyperspace.eu) has made great steps towards investigating innovative ways of using virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) in-flight, specifically to enhance passenger comfort in future air cabins. VR/MR were used to create virtual environments presenting ''positive illusions'' to a passenger either through head-mounted displays (HMDs) or large-scale displays. These illusions, based on research in virtual embodiment and space perception, were developed to investigate whether altering a person's virtual body, and placing a virtual body or your physical body in alternative environments, can change a person's perception of their comfort. This paper presents a brief summary of feedback from a group of VR-enthusiasts on the first demonstrations of these comfort illusions to the wider public.
