Research connection and sources
Kineta's DPhil project explores conversational AI in virtual reality and beliefs about other people (Tober, n.d.). The examples here are fictional teaching activities. They do not show that a treatment works.
Place illusion concerns feeling located in a virtual place. Plausibility illusion concerns events seeming to happen, despite knowing the experience is virtual. Head-tracked views and relevant events can support these feelings (Slater, 2009). A relevant reply is one cue, not proof that an illusion occurs.
