Exploring the Extension of Virtual Reality beyond the Five Senses: A Study on Human Aura Detection

1. Introduction

The realm of virtual reality, primarily dominated by visual experiences, stands at the cusp of a paradigm shift. As we advance in our understanding of human perception, there arises a pertinent question: Should VR be limited only to the five senses? Or is there a need to explore beyond, into potential senses that have remained uncharted, such as the human aura? This energy field, often visualized as a luminous body of light surrounding the person, is said to be a manifestation of the life force or energy that permeates the universe. In recent years, the study of the human aura has seen a resurgence of interest, particularly in the fields of alternative medicine and holistic health. One of the key technologies that have facilitated this progress is the development of high-speed photodetectors. These devices have been used to detect and analyze the subtle changes in the energy field around the human body.

2. Discussion

The importance of understanding the human aura in the context of VR lies in the potential interactions between human energy fields and robotic systems, which can influence robot behavior and human–robot interactions. As we ponder on the future of VR, it becomes imperative to consider how such potential senses might play a role in creating more immersive and holistic virtual experiences.

3. Conclusions

The exploration of senses beyond the traditional five in the context of virtual reality offers a vast and relatively untapped reservoir of research opportunities. While our study did not provide significant evidence supporting the existence of a human aura, the negative results hold significant scientific importance by offering a critical perspective and contributing to the body of knowledge.

We earnestly invite new papers and commentaries that can shed light on this exciting topic, hoping to catalyze a wave of innovative research that can redefine our understanding of virtual reality.
