NaviBoard: Efficiently Navigating Virtual Environments

NaviBoard: Efficiently Navigating Virtual Environments

Here we propose a novel and cost-effective setup of a leaning-based interface that allows people to efficiently navigate virtual environments, NaviBoard Abstract Walking has always been the most common locomotion mode for humans in the real world. As a result, it has also been considered as the gold standard in a large body of Virtual Reality research involving navigation. Physical walking provid...

Lean and Elegant Motion Cueing in VR

Lean and Elegant Motion Cueing in VR

How do we best design locomotion interfaces for VR that provide "enough" physical motion cues (vestibular/proprioceptive) while still being effective, affordable, compact, and safe? Despite amazing progress in computer graphics and VR displays, most affordable and room-sized VR locomotion interfaces provide only little physical motion cues (e.g., vestibular & proprioceptive cues). To provide...
