Influence of virtual reality on the feeling of hunger and the consequences for the feeling of satiety and food cravings

[EN] The influence of virtual reality on the feeling of hunger was investigated. The test with a total of 61 participants showed that virtual reality via the eyes and hand movements can partially influence the feeling of well-being and satiety as well as strongly influence the desire to eat. A statement about the influence on the feeling of hunger cannot be made, because the answers from different questions give contradictory results. Further more detailed investigations are necessary to be able to make a clear statement about the influence on the feeling of hunger.
