実映像オプティックフローと足裏振動による歩行感覚記録・体験手法の基礎検討(<特集>VR心理学6)

抄録

We developed a walking recording and experiencing system. For the recording system we captured stereo motion images from two cameras attached to a person's forehead with synchronized data of ankles' accelerations. For the experiencing system we presented 3-D motion images with binocular disparity on a head-mounted display, and presented vibrations to user's soles of feet at the same time. The vibration was made from a footstep sound when a person walked. We found that users subjectively reported that the 3-D motion images with synchronized foot vibrations elicited stronger feelings of walking, leg motion, stepping, and telepresence than without vibrations. These results suggest that our walking experiencing system gives users somewhat active walking feelings.
