This video shows an augmented reality application we have developed to use as an experimental testbed for evaluating what components of an AR experience contribute to a user feeling "present" or immersed. In this experiment the participants are presented with a virtual hole that drops three stories and are asked to perform tasks around this "pit." Their heart rate, galvanic skin response, and skin temperature are measured while the participant is shown different versions of the pit. The goal is to develop quantitative and qualitative methods for measuring how immersed a user is in an AR experience and to develop guidelines for people building AR applications.

@CommunistHamster Ha! That would be good. :) As long as the marker is in view of the camera then you would see whatever your trapdoor is covering the real hole.

You should try this in reverse, ie there actually is a hole (a small depression or a ball pool or something) but you have to fool the user that it's leevl ground. I imagine it would be even harder.
