Abstract

HCI research has addressed how to design tools that effectively alter human mind. Recent works have addressed relevant approaches such as the work Spider-Vision that modifies the visual sense [2] and the work addressing out-of-body experiences [3]. Here, we investigate the relationship between the body and its perception of the environment [4]. We ask: what if we change how and what we see by changing the eye position? How will the body navigate in space? We carried out a study which investigated how participants navigate through a complex building using a specifically designed device that interrupts the deep eye-body connections. The aim is to replace human eyes and make participants rely more on their bodily sensations in navigation. By placing the device on other locations in the body, the eye position was changed. Four eye positions were tested by participants with an average age of 25.
