Zeitgebers, Time Judgments, and VR: A Constructive Replication Study
Previous research has attempted to understand the influence of virtual reality (VR) on human perception of time, but neither a comprehensive understanding nor conclusive results have been achieved. To extend and continue research on this topic, we closely replicated a previous study and included new elements in a constructive replication study. To do this, we replicate the original setup and investigate the influence of workload and sun speed on time production. Contrary to previous findings, we did not find significant differences in virtual sun movements on time judgments. However, consistent with the original study, time perception in VR was affected by cognitive workload. In addition, we found that immersion in the virtual environment influenced time perception after VR. The contrasting results highlight the need for further research into the factors contributing to time perception in and after VR to fully explain the phenomenon of altered perception.
