Shaking the world: galvanic vestibular stimulation as a novel sensation interface

Published:31 July 2005Publication History

ABSTRACT

We developed a novel sensation interface device using galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS). GVS alters your balance. Our device can induce vection (virtual sense of acceleration) synchronized with optic flow or musical rhythms. The device can also induce lateral walking towards the anode while human walking.
