| 17. - 18. April 2008 Walking is the most natural way for humans to navigate through their environment. To date, however, it is almost impossible to physically walk through Virtual Environments in an unconstrained way. In the EU project “CyberWalk” we developed an omni-directional treadmill, which together with markerless tracking, optimized control and several perceptual tricks enables humans to walk through Virtual Worlds in a natural and unconstrained fashion (www.cyberwalk-project.org).
However, research on and for human locomotion in Virtual Environments is still in its infancy. Therefore, we are planning to hold a workshop bringing together research on locomotion covering a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines. The two-day workshop includes the presentation of the omni-directional CyberWalk treadmill with its scientific background and a symposium with invited speakers and poster sessions.
We invite abstracts for poster presentations on the topic of locomotion research from all different scientific areas, including: ///perception research |
