In the context of promoting empathy among people without disabilities, we propose an application to allow users to experience having an amputated arm. By providing both visual and haptic feedback, our application offers a multisensory experience to enhance the sense of embodiment. The user of our application should still feel their real limb attached to their bodies, and yet see their virtual avatar and interact with the virtual environment as an amputee.
A simple task of handling and positioning objects in a table is proposed for users to experience the difficulties of having a missing arm. Additionally, experiment participants are asked to answer a self-presence questionnaire regarding their embodiment of the virtual avatar.
