This book presents a survey of past and recent developments on
human walking in virtual environments with an emphasis on human
self-motion perception, the multisensory nature of experiences of
walking, conceptual design approaches, current technologies, and
applications. The use of Virtual Reality and movement simulation
systems is becoming increasingly popular and more accessible to a
wide variety of research fields and applications. While, in the
past, simulation technologies have focused on developing realistic,
interactive visual environments, it is becoming increasingly
obvious that our everyday interactions are highly multisensory.
Therefore, investigators are beginning to understand the critical
importance of developing and validating locomotor interfaces that
can allow for realistic, natural behaviours. The book aims to
present an overview of what is currently understood about human
perception and performance when moving in virtual environments and
to situate it relative to the broader scientific and engineering
literature on human locomotion and locomotion interfaces. The
contents include scientific background and recent empirical
findings related to biomechanics, self-motion perception, and
physical interactions. The book also discusses conceptual
approaches to multimodal sensing, display systems, and interaction
for walking in real and virtual environments. Finally, it will
present current and emerging applications in areas such as gait and
posture rehabilitation, gaming, sports, and architectural design.
