However, although they primarily focus on expanding sensory types or increasing individual sensory quality, they la ck consensus in designing appropriate interactions between different senso ry stimuli. This paper explores how the congruence between auditory and vi sual (AV) stimuli, which are the sensory stimuli typically provided by VR devices, affects the cognition and experience of VR users as a critical in teraction factor in promoting multisensory integration. We defined the typ es of (in)congruence between AV stimuli, and then designed 12 virtual spac es with different types or degrees of congruence between AV stimuli. We th en evaluated the presence, immersion, motion sickness, and cognition chang es in each space. We observed the following key findings: 1) there is a li mit to the degree of temporal or spatial incongruence that can be tolerate d, with few negative effects on user experience until that point is exceed ed; 2) users are tolerant of semantic incongruence; 3) a simulation that c onsiders synesthetic congruence contributes to the user's sense of immersi on and presence. Based on these insights, we identified the essential cons iderations for designing sensory simulations in VR and proposed future res earch directions.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, EXPERIENCE PLUS A CCESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=gp_137&sess=sess257 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
