Title:
- Weighted Walking: Propeller-based On-leg Force Simulation of Walking in Fluid Materials in VR
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
Weighted Walking is a wearable device with ducted fans on the user’s calf. The fans can generate powerful thrust to simulate the forces caused by the user’s lower limbs moving in different fluid materials. It can also simulate the walking experience in different gravity conditions, such as in another planet.
