项目摘要

This research executed experiments regarding navigation performance using a new locomotion interface for walking through virtual space. Although traveling on foot is the most intuitive style of locomotion, proprioceptive feedback from walking is not provided in most applications of virtual environments. We developed an infinite surface driven by actuators for enabling a sense of walking. Torus-shaped surfaces are selected to realize the locomotion interface. The device employs twelve sets of treadmills. These treadmills are connected side-by-side and driven in perpendicular directions. The virtual infinite surface is generated by the motion of the treadmills. A walker can go in any direction while his/her position is fixed in the real world. The device is named "Torus Treadmill." Navigation performance was measured by path reproduction tests. Subjects were immersed in a virtual grass-covered plain on which a cone-shaped target object was placed. The subjects first traveled to the target object. After they reached it, the target object disappeared and the rehomed subjects were asked to return to the place where the target object was placed. We also set two target objects and the subject traveled along a bent path. We compared two locomotion modes : walking on the Torus Treadmill and moving purely by joystick operation. The results of the bent path experiment showed that accuracy of path reproduction of Torus Treadmill mode is better than that of Joystick mode.

本研究使用一种新的运动界面在虚拟空间中行走，进行了有关导航性能的实验。虽然步行是最直观的运动方式，但在虚拟环境的大多数应用中不提供来自步行的本体感受反馈。我们开发了一个由致动器驱动的无限表面，以实现行走的感觉。选择圆环面作为运动界面。该装置采用了12套球磨机。这些粉碎机并排连接并在垂直方向上驱动。虚拟无限曲面是由双辊轧机的运动产生的。步行者可以在他/她的位置在真实的世界中固定的情况下向任何方向行进。该设备被命名为“环面跑步机。“导航性能是通过路径再现测试来测量的。受试者沉浸在一个虚拟的草地覆盖的平原上，上面放置了一个锥形的目标物体。受试者首先前往目标物体。在他们到达目标物体后，目标物体消失了，被要求返回目标物体放置的地方。我们也设定了两个目标物体，受试者沿着沿着一条弯曲的路径行走，我们比较了两种运动模式：在Torus跑步机上行走和纯粹通过操纵杆操作移动。弯曲路径实验结果表明，Torus Treadmill模式的路径再现精度优于Joystick模式。
