Percussive Hemispheres: Turning the Head into a Resonating Instrument via Audio-Tactile and Visual Synchrony
SessionXR
DescriptionPercussive Hemispheres is an XR installation where synchronized steel drum and head tapping makes participants feel their head is resonating like an instrument. Visual hemispheres reinforce the illusion, often accompanied by the audiotactile magnet-head effect. A lab study confirmed significant enhancement of both perceptual phenomena.
