The objective of the present study is the creation of sensation under turning walking using a vestibular display (a motion seat). We added a yaw-rotation mechanism to our three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) motion seat, with which we investigated the contribution of yaw rotation for the turning walking sensation. After an equivalent stimulus of the seat’s yaw rotation to a real left-turn walking was determined, the virtual turning walking sensation was rated by the user study. The result suggested that yaw rotation stimulation improved the sensation of turning walking by 1.6 to 2.2 times to the 3-DOF seat; the motion generated about 34.2% sensation of the actual walking.
