Abstract
This study investigated the effects of changing the ceiling height, which is one of the fundamental components of rooms, on the sense of time via a subject experiment using virtual environmental technology. In three rooms with different type of ceiling heights changing, a ball was created that moved left and right in front of the subject's eyes. Subjects were asked to memorize sensory the time it took for the ball to move one round trip (20 s), and to reproduce that time in the condition that the ball was invisible. By comparing the time reproduced by the subjects with the actual elapsed time, we quantified the length of the sense of time in each room.
