Research on Virtual Reality Head Rotation Gain Under the Influence of Pitch Angle [PDF]

Jisuanji kexue
Increasing head rotation gain in virtual reality significantly enhances user exploration efficiency.Due to spatial constraints,users often need to perform extensive head rotations to observe the entire scene,which may sacrifice comfort.Therefore,applying

Redirected walking to explore virtual environments

, 2008
Redirected walking has gained popularity in recent years as a way of enhancing the safety of users immersed in a virtual reality simulation and of extending the amount of space that can be simulated in a virtual environment (VE).

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Towards imperceptible redirected walking [PDF]

Proceedings of the 21st ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games, 2017
Physically walking in a virtual world has been repeatedly demonstrated to be superior to navigation with game controllers and the like. The problem is that virtual worlds are often much larger than the available physical space. Redirected walking, a technique in which the users orientation in the physical space is constantly and imperceptibly changed ...

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

Design and Pilot Study of a Gait Enhancing Mobile Shoe

Paladyn, 2011
Hemiparesis is a frequent and disabling consequence of stroke and can lead to asymmetric and ineffcient walking patterns. Training on a split-belt treadmill, which has two separate treads driving each leg at a different speed, can correct such ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

The Walkbook: Recipes for Walking and Wellbeing [PDF]

, 2022
Our public survey showed that more people walked during COVID-19, and walked more frequently. However, some people walked less, or their walking reduced over the various lockdowns. Many barriers or challenges to walking were identified by respondents.

The balance between clashing visual and idiothetic cues during path integration with redirected walking

Frontiers in Virtual Reality
IntroductionAs we walk we perceive our motion by external channels such as vision, and by internal ones such as the vestibular and proprioceptive senses. But what happens when these channels offer contradicting information?

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...
