Human Performance During Whole-Body Motion
Unity experiments and task-relative motion analysis on a 6-DOF platform.
At the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, I developed a Unity-based directional-judgment task on a 6-DOF motion platform. The study included 39 participants and related response times to trial-level, task-relative components of platform acceleration: directional congruency and lateral interference.
Reaction times showed no clear monotonic gradient across motion-intensity conditions. The two motion components showed opposite associations with response time in the pooled model, but neither association was clearly supported after adjustment for target direction.
The manuscript, “Beyond Motion Intensity: Task-Relative Motion Geometry and Directional Response Time During Whole-Body Motion,” has been submitted to CHI 2027. An earlier preprint is available under the title “Does Motion Intensity Impair Cognition in HCI? The Critical Role of Physical Motion-Visual Target Directional Congruency.”
