Human perception of virtual objects is distorted. Spatial perception is geometrically inconsistent across tasks, and motor behavior shows similar, though weaker, inconsistencies, impacting haptic feedback and planning.

Area of Science:

  • Human-computer interaction
  • Robotics
  • Neuroscience
  • Perception science

Background:

  • The human arm interacts with virtual objects simulated by planar robots.
  • Haptic perception of spatial properties is known to be distorted.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify perceptual distortion of length, angle, and orientation in human-robot interaction.
  • To investigate if motor behavior is distorted consistently with perceptual distortions.

Main Methods:

  • Three experiments quantified spatial perception distortions (length, angle, orientation).
  • A fourth experiment assessed motor behavior by having subjects draw circles.
  • Statistical analysis compared perceptual and motor distortions.

Main Results:

  • Spatial perception was found to be geometrically inconsistent across different perceptual tasks.
  • Motor behavior, specifically circle drawing, showed geometric inconsistencies relative to length perception.
  • While statistically different, the observed inconsistencies between perception and motor behavior were relatively small.

Conclusions:

  • Human spatial perception during haptic interaction with virtual objects is geometrically inconsistent.
  • Motor behavior may be distorted in ways consistent with perceptual distortions, but the link is not absolute.
  • Findings have implications for computational models of haptic perception and motor planning.
