Participation in MOCO ’26

We are thrilled to have shared our latest research at the MOCO ’26 Movoment Computing Conference in Montpellier, France, this April. Our team presented the findings of a study focused on a novel, portable approach to the “Footsteps Illusion.”While traditional sonification systems often require controlled laboratory environments, our work introduces a movement-synchronized system using prerecorded footstep sounds. By manipulating frequency—triggering sensations of a lighter or heavier body—we demonstrated that these effects can be successfully reproduced using movement-triggered prerecorded footstep sounds. Our results confirm that auditory feedback remains a powerful tool for altering body perception and gait, even outside the lab.
