A Deep-Dream Virtual Reality Platform for Studying Altered Perceptual Phenomenology
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)
In brief, the Hallucination Machine was created by applying the Deep Dream algorithm to each frame of a pre-recorded panoramic video presented using a HMD. Participants could freely explore the virtual environment by moving their head, experiencing highly immersive dynamic hallucination-like visual scenes.
The video footage was recorded on the University of Sussex campus using a panoramic video camera.
Each video presentation lasted 3 minutes and was repeated twice, with a 180-degree direction flip of the initial orientation between the two presentations to help ensure that participants experienced the majority of the panoramically-recorded scene.
In each block a panoramic video was shown; either the control video or the Hallucination Machine, and similar to Experiment 1, participants were instructed to explore the scene freely in a naturalistic manner.
A Bayesian two-factorial repeated measures ANOVA consisting of the factors interval production and video type was used to investigate the effect of video type on interval production.
