Title:
- Go Mountain! VR: Virtual Poles and Physical Motions for Trekking and Skiing Experiences
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
A novel immersive experience system that creates the physical sensation of trekking and skiing within a 360 video is presented. This system incorporates full-body motion, including the use of handheld poles, through various forms of stimulation: vestibular, lower/upper limbs, airflow, and vibration at the feet, saddle, and hands. These sensations are synchronized with the audiovisual scenery relayed through the head-mounted display, offering conference participants an unique experience of mountain activities.
