Abstract

Walking through real space and moving through virtual space is one of the methods to improve the immersive experience of VR content. However, the space available for movement in a virtual environment is limited by the size of the real space. As a result, the experience of VR content may be compromised. One solution to this problem is Redirected Walking (RDW). RDW is a method that allows walking on a large virtual space rather than a limited real space. In this method, the virtual space is rotated to create the illusion of walking direction. Previous research has shown that the presentation of tactile sensation and traction increases the degree of illusion. In this study we propose a Redirected Walking technique combined with tilt presentation to the sole of the foot. An experiment was conducted with four subjects to investigate the effect on RDW of the presence or absence of tilt presentation to the sole. The results of the experiment showed the possibility of shifting the range over which the illusion is induced by the presentation of the tilt to the sole.
