Affordance and Time Perception: The Role of Hand Morphology in Virtual Reality

In a previous study conducted by our lab, we introduced a novel approach to investigating the interaction between affordance perception and temporal judgments within a virtual reality (VR) environment. This study explores how affordance perception influences time judgments in a VR setting. Using a grasping task with congruent and incongruent hand-object orientations, we manipulated affordances through both object layout and hand morphology. Participants judged the duration of their actions relative to a comparison tone. Our preliminary results suggest that the way we perceive action possibilities can shape our experience of time.
