Abstract

In this study, a novel motion display device, having 10 DOF (degrees of freedom) for virtual walking is developed. The device consists of a motion seat and a foot module. The device creates synchronous motions of the whole body and lower legs, imparting the straight and turn walking sensations. The motion seat has four-DOF motions of lifting, rolling, pitching, and yawing coordinated by three linear actuators and a DC motor. The three-DOF foot module consists of a pedal-like footrest, which rotates (pitch motion), slides (back and forth translation), and laterally shifts (yaw rotation). Besides, the motions are controlled by microcomputers and 3D space software (Unity).
