Description:
In the fairy tale “Pinocchio,” “When Pinocchio tells a lie, his nose extends.” What if it really happens to us human beings? PinocchioVR expresses the sensation of human noses extending using the Body Ownership illusion. We provide this illusion through a combination of HMD visuals and a nose-pulling sensation.
