As space agencies prepare for long-duration missions, such as establishing a permanent moon base, maintaining astronauts’ physical and mental health becomes crucial. Exercise is known to counteract the adverse effects of space travel, and virtual ...

This research proposes a wireless foot vibration device designed to enhance virtual walking experiences in virtual environments. The device, constructed from snowboard bindings and 3D-printed parts, features vibrators and pressure sensors to provide ...

In the growing field of sonic interaction design, increasing emphasis is being placed on walking-based interactions within an array of applications, including virtual reality, interactive media, and rehabilitation. Our study focuses on recreating ...

Current assistive technologies for navigation guidance using non-visual feedback often rely on audiovisual cues only. Haptic cues can also provide rich information while leaving the auditory sensory channel unencumbered. By enhancing the sensory ...

Overlapping rooms and translation gains are two redirection techniques that enable users to navigate larger virtual environments within a limited physical space. It is crucial to apply these methods subtly to ensure user immersion, as previous research ...

The ankle joint plays a crucial role in gait, facilitating the articulation of the lower limb, maintaining foot-ground contact, balancing the body, and transmitting the center of gravity. This study aimed to implement long short-term memory (LSTM)...

• Uni-directional and omni-directional treadmills significantly increase cybersickness symptoms in HMD-VR users after 10 min.
• Omni-directional treadmills increase cybersickness symptoms in HMD-VR users significantly more than uni-...

Treadmills allow users to translate their real world walking into movement in virtual worlds. Conventional treadmills used for fitness can be repurposed for users to move around in virtual reality, but permit walking in only one direction (uni-...

Insects use various sensory organs to monitor proprioceptive and exteroceptive information during walking. The measurement of forces in the exoskeleton is facilitated by campaniform sensilla (CS), which monitor resisted muscle forces through the ...

Objective: To study the clinical effect of lower limb exoskeleton robot on walking function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Methods: 46 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into control group (conventional rehabilitation therapy + ...

Attentional tunneling in augmented reality (AR) refers to a phenomenon where users pay disproportionately high attention to virtual content while ignoring events in the real world. Although many handheld AR applications are deployed in public places ...

The virtual walking systems that do not involve physical movement of the legs has the advantage of being able to be experienced while seated or supine. The sensation of virtual walking can be effectively elicited through the combination of optic flow ...

Augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) allow users to easily receive notifications while participating other tasks by projecting information directly in their field of view. Although HMDs offer such benefits in displaying ...

Transfer functions with a high translational gain can increase the range of walking in virtual reality. These functions determine how much virtual movements are amplified compared to the corresponding physical movements. However, it is unclear how ...

Open Forest is a collective, experimental inquiry into different forests and more-than-human dataflows. The project explores how forests and forest data can be produced, thought of and engaged with otherwise, in co-creative ways that consider ...

Wearable devices have a rapid development and popularity in the last decade, and the human-computer interaction issues in this field have become prominent. In general, the screen size of wearable devices is much smaller. Besides, the usage ...

Neurophysiological signals are manifestations of the underlying brain activity, and they contain an abundance of neural information. The decoding and understanding of these signals is useful to develop robotic exoskeletons, benefitting device-...

TEPe (Technologically Expanded Performance) is a research project that aims at the qualification of urban experiences, through the negotiation of different times in the city, assuming the capacity and deceleration of rhythms; in this way, it seeks to ...

People with vision impairments (PVIs) have inferior physical fitness compared to sighted individuals. Several studies have been conducted to understand concerns, motivations, barriers, and experiences with exercise in the blind population. However,...

In the present research, we prepared a human-size humanoid that autonomously navigates alongside with a walking person. Its utterances were controlled by Wizard-of-Oz method. A field experiment in which older persons walked in an elder care ...
