Abstract
ELBOWRIST is an HMD-based platform that gives an unnatural perspective directing the rear of the body, considering how we recognize our back-space as the peri-personal space (mental body-area). In ELBOWRIST, both physical wrists are virtually transformed into “the second elbow” and the extended arm is attached at the second elbow. The HMD wearer easily explores the back-space with this new body parts and the backward perspective, promoting re-organization of visual-cortex handling the back-space.
