Simulating drone and bodily movements: a behavioral study by Anna Kolesnikov, Anna Kolesnikov, Marta Calbi, Marta Calbi, Martina Montalti, Martina Montalti, Nunzio Langiulli, Michele Guerra, Vittorio Gallese, Vittorio Gallese, Maria Alessandra Umiltà, Maria Alessandra Umiltà

“…IntroductionThis study explores how drone movements and human bodily gestures influence spectators’ perceptions, focusing on physical and emotional involvement, aesthetic appreciation, and time perception.MethodsInspired by the iconic staircase scene from the Soviet film The Cranes Are Flying (1957), a set of 81 naturalistic video stimuli was created using a drone-mounted camera, varying in Drone Movement (Ascending, Descending, Still), Human Presence (Female, Male, None), and Image Speed (Normal, Low, Very Slow). Participants evaluated each video based on Liking, Perceived Movement, Physical Involvement, Emotional Involvement and Perceived Duration.Results and discussionResults showed that ascending movements elicited the highest levels of perceived movement, aesthetic appreciation and emotional engagement, outperforming descending and still movements. …”
