微妙的传感：检测虚拟模拟分子对象的灵活性差异
Subtle Sensing: Detecting Differences in the Flexibility of Virtually Simulated Molecular Objects
摘要：
在我们过去几年进行的VR演示中，许多参与者（在没有任何触觉反馈的情况下）都评论了他们"感觉“模拟分子对象之间差异的感知能力。这种“感觉”的机制并不完全清楚：从VR外部观察，可以看到参与者没有任何物理“感觉”。在这里，我们概述了探索性的用户研究，旨在评估参与者在多大程度上可以区分VR模拟分子对象的灵活性的定量差异。结果表明，当个体能够与分子相互作用并操纵分子时，个体检测分子灵活性差异的能力得到增强，而不仅仅是观察相同的相互作用。在这些结果的基础上，我们打算进行进一步的研究，调查人类在没有触觉技术的情况下感知VR模拟的定量特性的能力。
英文摘要：
During VR demos we have performed over last few years, many participants (in the absence of any haptic feedback) have commented on their perceived ability to 'feel' differences between simulated molecular objects. The mechanisms for such 'feeling' are not entirely clear: observing from outside VR, one can see that there is nothing physical for participants to 'feel'. Here we outline exploratory user studies designed to evaluate the extent to which participants can distinguish quantitative differences in the flexibility of VR-simulated molecular objects. The results suggest that an individual's capacity to detect differences in molecular flexibility is enhanced when they can interact with and manipulate the molecules, as opposed to merely observing the same interaction. Building on these results, we intend to carry out further studies investigating humans' ability to sense quantitative properties of VR simulations without haptic technology.
