In teleoperation, the spatiotemporal calibration of the system can
significantly impact both performance and user experience,
which may not necessarily be causally linked. This study asks if
Sense of Embodiment (SoE) varies with spatiotemporal
calibration of a teleoperated system, which in turn affects task
performance. Most SoE studies are passive and they do not
represent a great paradigm to study the impact of calibration on
SoE in active teleoperation. Therefore, we designed an active
RHI in mixed reality where we manipulated both the spatial
calibration (shifts) and visuo-proprioceptive synchronicity
(temporal delay). We investigated if this manipulation affected
performance, proprioceptive mapping, SoE and the perception of
the setup as a mediator. The results suggest a potential direct
influence of SoE on task performance, particularly through
enhanced calibration due to synchronicity, indicating potential
benefits for sustained usage. Additionally, SoE is explored
comprehensively, employing multiple tests assessing implicit and
explicit dimensions of calibration.
