Virtual Reality Environment for Studying Change Blindness
Name
Markus Kängsepp
Abstract
Change blindness is a counterintuitive phenomenon which describes the inability to detect changes in the surrounding world. Change blindness is studied by using various methods. However, so far there are only a few studies in virtual reality environments. This is the case despite the fact that studies done in virtual reality have advantages over conventional means of doing experiments. The aim of the present thesis is to develop a toolbox that allows one to easily prepare, reproduce and carry out change blindness experiments in virtual reality. For this, toolbox enables to design levels by modifying objects’ position, appearance and adding new ones. Also personalised experiments can be created and executed.
