我们提出了“升级”，计算机控制的高跷，让虚拟现实用户体验上下台阶。每个升级单元都是一个独立的设备，像靴子一样穿着。其主要功能元件是安装到垂直延伸的靴子底部的垂直致动机构。与传统的集成运动设备的解决方案不同，Level-Ups允许用户自由行走（“真正的行走”）。我们目前的升级在一个演示环境的基础上，头戴式显示器，光学动作捕捉，并与两个不同的游戏引擎集成。在一项用户研究中，参与者在佩戴Level-Ups时对踩到物体的真实性的评分为6.0（满分7.0），而没有佩戴Level-Ups时为3.5。
We present "Level-Ups", computer-controlled stilts that allow virtual reality users to experience walking up and down steps. Each Level-Up unit is a self-contained device worn like a boot. Its main functional element is a vertical actuation mechanism mounted to the bottom of the boot that extends vertically. Unlike traditional solutions that are integrated with locomotion devices, Level-Ups allow users to walk around freely ("real-walking"). We present Level-Ups in a demo environment based on a head-mounted display, optical motion capture, and integrated with two different game engines. In a user study, participants rated the realism of stepping onto objects 6.0 out of 7.0 when wearing Level-Ups compared to 3.5 without.
