Gait rehabilitation system for stair climbing and descending
HAPTIC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE Haptics SymposiumThis paper describes the development of a gait rehabilitation system with a locomotion interface (LI) for stair climbing or descending. The LI consists of two 2 DOF manipulators equipped with footpads. These can move the user's feet while his or her ...
Virtual ISU: locomotion interface for immersive VR gaming in seated position
VRIC '16: Proceedings of the 2016 Virtual Reality International ConferenceThis paper describes a new locomotion interface suitable for immersive virtual reality (VR) gaming in a seated position. In the proposed approach, the user can roam in virtual space while sitting on the Virtual Intuitive Striding Unit (ISU). This device ...
