Stimulus presentation apparatus, stimulus presentation method and program

A stimulus presentation method for stimulating a user with air from a plurality of air guns arranged so as to surround the user, the stimulus presentation method causing a stimulus presentation device to perform the steps of:

• determining respective ejection times at which a plurality of air streams is to be ejected at given time intervals which allow the user to perceive an apparent motion as well as respective ejection azimuth directions in which the plurality of air streams are to be ejected and causing the air streams to be sequentially ejected from the respective air guns arranged in the respective ejection azimuth directions at the respective ejection times;
• determining a plurality of different body sites on a body of the user to which the plurality of air streams is to be applied;
• and
• adjusting respective ejection angles of the individual air guns by controlling respective orientations of respective muzzles of the air guns to point the respective muzzles at the plurality of body sites.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a stimulus presentation program that causes a computer to function as a stimulus presentation device to perform:

• determining respective ejection times at which a plurality of air streams is to be ejected at given time intervals which allow a user to perceive an apparent motion as well as respective ejection azimuth directions in which the plurality of air streams are to be ejected and causing the air streams to be sequentially ejected from respective air guns arranged in the respective ejection azimuth directions at the respective ejection times;
• determining a plurality of different body sites on a body of the user to which the plurality of air streams is to be applied;
• and
• adjusting respective ejection angles of the individual air guns by controlling respective orientations of respective muzzles of the air guns to point the respective muzzles at the plurality of body sites.
