Rotational Recalibration in Immersive Virtual Environments∗
نویسنده
چکیده
People recalibrate, or adjust, their actions as environmental conditions change. For example, people can easily recalibrate to walking outside on a windy day. Locomotive recalibration, such as walking or turning, has already been investigated in several real world experiments. However, there has been little research of locomotive recalibration in immersive virtual environments (IVEs). This work describes a series of experiments that were created to determine if and how people recalibrate to different rates of rotation in IVEs. The experiments were designed after real world experiments conducted by Pick, Rieser, Wagner and Garing [4]. The results of our experiments show that people do recalibrate to virtual environments in a way that is similar to the way they recalibrate in the real world. In addition, these results verify that IVEs can be an alternative way to conduct traditional real world perception experiments.

Perception in Immersive Environments
Immersive environment (virtual reality) systems provide a unique way for researchers to perform experiments in completely controlled environments. Virtual environments enable researchers to create experiments that would not be easily created in the real world due to physical limitations. This paper will discuss some of the problems facing immersive systems and explore how they might be resolved...
متن کاملCorrecting distance estimates by interacting with immersive virtual environments: effects of task and available sensory information.
The tendency to underestimate egocentric distances in immersive virtual environments (VEs) is not well understood. However, previous research (A. R. Richardson & D. Waller, 2007) has demonstrated that a brief period of interaction with the VE prior to making distance judgments can effectively eliminate subsequent underestimation. Here the authors examine the mechanism underlying the effect of V...
متن کاملSpring-Based Manipulation Tools for Virtual Environments
In this paper we present new tools for user interaction with virtual worlds, to bring more natural behavior into the manipulation of objects in virtual environments. We present some principles of physically realistic behavior of virtual objects and a set of user input techniques suitable for semi-immersive VR devices such as the Responsive Workbench. We introduce springs, spring-forks and sprin...

This work deals with modeling in immersive virtual environments. We present MuscleAssemblyLab (MAL), a tool to create musculo-skeletal layers for virtual humanoids. With modular interaction metaphors it supports various inputand output-devices ranging from classical desktop systems to virtual reality hardware. This enabled us to conduct a comparative user study between non-immersive and immersi...
متن کاملFlexible recalibration of perception and action in children and adults
We conducted eight experiments to examine how manipulating perception vs. action during walking affects perception-action recalibration in real and imagined blindfolded walking tasks. Participants first performed a distance estimation task (pretest), and then walked through an immersive virtual environment on a treadmill for 10 minutes. Participants then repeated the distance estimation task (p...
