Development of a dynamic virtual reality model of the inner ear sensory system as a learning and demonstrating tool [PDF]
, 2009 In order to keep track of the position and motion of our body in space, nature has given us a fascinating and very ingenious organ, the inner ear. Each inner ear includes five biological sensors - three angular and two linear accelerometers - which ...
