Summary:In this research, the impact of aerodynamics on the perception of weight in virtual environments was studied. A real-time aerodynamic simulation was created for objects with different shapes and weights, and an experiment was conducted to determine the correlation between subjects' weight perception and the presence of simulated aerodynamic forces on virtual objects. The results showed that the weight of light objects was more accurately conveyed and the perceived realism was improved when simulated aerodynamic forces were included.
