Abstract:
This study summarizes the results of two experiments focusing on the contribution of specific sensory cues to the enhancement of presence in a dynamic motorcycle riding simulator (DESMORI simulator at WIVW). Specific emphasis lies on the effects of proprioceptive stimuli achieved by a rope-towing mechanism that simulates static and dynamic longitudinal forces to the motorcyclist’s torso (e.g., due to acceleration or aerodynamic drag). In one experiment, N = 24 riders passively experienced different velocities in a speed estimation task without using feedback from the speedometer while the amount of sensory feedback was varied. Presence regarding performance and subjective ratings was positively influenced by proprioceptive stimulation. Furthermore, no negative influence on simulator sickness was found. The same variation was applied in the second experiment, when N = 47 participants had to cross a deep pit. Proprioceptive stimulation could not enhance presence any further in terms of spontaneous behavior, physiological measures, or subjective ratings. The results show the potential and limitations of proprioceptive feedback to enhance presence depending on the riding scenario. The conclusions of this study may be used to compare efforts made to deliver proprioceptive stimuli in driving simulators with the expected advantages.
