Investigating innovative information presentation methods based on perceptual illusion

We feel like we are perceiving the world around us correctly, but actually that's not true. According to past studies in the field of psychology, humans are under the illusion of the way the world is in various aspects. Although the word "illusion" generally has a bad image, I believe that by scientifically understanding the properties of illusions, it will be possible to present interesting and novel information using illusions. In this research, we focus on visual, tactile, and auditory illusions, and develop a method of information presentation that makes use of these characteristics.
