Title:
- KineSway: Simulating Terrain Shaking Sensation by Alternating Tendon Vibration to Ankles
Collaborator(s):
Description:
We propose a cost-effective method to simulate ground sway and tilt in virtual environments using kinesthetic illusions. By applying vibratory stimuli to ankle tendons, our technique creates a perceptual sensation of movement without physical space requirements or actual motion, offering a safe and easy-to-install alternative to traditional motion platforms.
