Detection Thresholds for Redirected Walking
In this project we analyzed human perception of redirected walking manipulations, which we formalized as curvature, rotation and translation gains. We determined detection thresholds for the different manipulation techniques. Our results indicate that when humans are focusing on detecting manipulations (and are not engaged in a task while exploring a virtual environment) they are quite good at this task. When applying redirected walking in its native form, we require a laboratory with a walking area of approximately 45m x 45m.
To overcome this limitation, we presented different extensions of the traditional redirection approaches. Check out our other projects on self-motion illusions, change blindness etc.
