A New Step-in-Place Locomotion Interface for Virtual Environment
With Large Display System
A new locomotion interface for virtual environments with
large screen. Users can direct and control their movements
in any direction by in-place stepping and turning actions.
Innovation
Design of a new kind of turntable system with embedded
sensors as a walking platform interface. Usersí turning
actions are canceled by the turntable to keep them facing
the screen and provided with continuous visual feedback
despite the use of limited large screen.
Vision
The use of our smart-turntable walking platform provides
users with the ability to perform life-like walking experiences
in a seamless manner and free from any body attachments.
The interface can be easily integrated in most large-screen
virtual environments. Even if the screen size is limited,
the system delivers a continuous and surround-like display.
