We have focused on the effect of vibration on perceived reality from multimodal contents. This study aims to investigate the effect of vibration information generated by low frequency components of auditory information on perceived reality. Generated vibration was combined with original audio-visual contents and presented to the observers. The results revealed that vibration information generated by auditory information could enhance perceived reality from multimodal contents even when the power of generated vibration was lower than that of original vibration.
