A User Interface Design to Smoothly Walk Through VR Space by Swinging Arms

Abstract

In the VR content, existing operation method that moves on the VR space has an operation method which impairs immersive feeling. Therefore, we realized a user interface to smoothly move on the virtual space while suppressing VR sickness by using the motion of arm swing when walking. For the movement of the arm which becomes the input part to the system, it detects by attaching a device which can trace movement to the arm. In addition, by not using button input to start walking, operation with a device that does not have a button was also realized.
