This lecture explores the properties of human senses, sensory stimulation through immersion, and the key human senses displayed in virtual reality. It covers topics such as the number of human senses, the sensory stimuli reaching the body, sensor terminology, sensor stimulation, Weber-Fechner law, sensor sensitivity, and the vestibular system. The lecture delves into vision, audition, skin and kinesthetic sensors, the sense of balance, and other sensors like smell and taste. It emphasizes the importance of immersion in virtual reality experiences and how different sensory stimuli contribute to creating a realistic and engaging environment.
