We explore here, through three complementary experiments on virtual objects, how intimate active relations with multisensory audiovisual and haptics perceptions allow to the cognitive creation of new believable and plausible objects than can be different of the virtual ones objectively implemented. The three experiments are based on "Pebble boxes" and consist in the exploration and the manipulation of multiple moving multisensory objects (the Pebbles). They show how an inferred scene is constructed from experience, as assumed in the cognitive Enactive concept, by means of three complementary strategies: "the Emergent Exploratory Procedures (EEP), the "Dynamic Manipulation Adaptation" (DMA), the "Adaptive Experimental Learning" (AEL). It shows also the complementarity between the ergotic and the semiotic situation on the strategies to infer a believable and plausible scene.
