Dining under remote perception conditions

The hungry receiver person had to eat spaghetti while he saw himself only in his i-glasses through the transmitter´s eyes. While solving this task, skin resistancy on the left forefinger and muscle activity at the persons neck were measured.

Meanwhile the test-person knew the effects of remote perception quite well. Nevertheless he had problems with the not-mirrored picture in the HMD so that he only could eat a small part of his portion. When the receiver saw the sending person eating (a spoon of white spaghetti with grey tomato sauce disappears at the lower picture end) he reported a strong impression like eating the spoon of spaghetti himself (parallel to the experiments in the beginning of the week).

The receiver's skin resistancy fell during the dinner continiously until he gave up eating and asked for a cigarette. Lighting the cigarette triggered a faster fall of the resistancy, for the flame was only a big white spot on the video picture. Then the resistancy curve rose up again.

The measurement of muscle activity at the receiving person's neck should have documented the person's tendency to follow camera- (head-) movements of the sender. There were no significant deflections obviously because the receiver was quite used to the situation.

Hyperstereoscopy

Tests with different distances between the two lenses of the stereoscopic camera.

Enlarging the distance (50 cm) causes a stronger stereoscopic effect in the depth of the video picture, but recognizing objects in next to the lenses gets impossible (like the attempt to focus on your own nose).

Analogous a smaller lens distance (2 cm) lowers the stereoscopic effectin the depth of the video picture, but makes the application in makro-environments possible (e.g. small labyrinth...).

Hyperstereoscopy has hardly an impact on one's feel for dimensions. At the most it is only a support to an in case already existing impression that makes things appearing smaller/bigger.
