ITR/SY(IIS): Advanced Mechanical Displays for Locomotion Interfaces

该项目解决了人与虚拟环境的交互问题-在这种情况下是机械交互。 考虑的是运动接口能量提取设备，允许自然行走通过虚拟地形。我们的目标是通过将行走与视觉和声音进行现实整合，以及通过移动时的现实能量消耗，在虚拟世界中产生沉浸感。例如，该系统将被期望真实地再现上坡比下坡更难行走的事实。将探索额外的自由度，以研究更广义的地形行走模式。

The project addresses the problem of human interaction - in this case mechanical interaction - with virtual environments. Considered are locomotion interface energy-extractive devices that allow natural walking through virtual terrain. The goal is to produce a sense of immersion in the virtual world by realistic integration of walking with vision and sound, and by realistic energy expenditure in moving about. For example, the system will be expected to realistically recreate the fact that walking uphill is harder than downhill. Additional degrees of freedom will be explored to investigate a more generalized pattern of terrain walking.
