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.

Around the (Virtual) World: Infinite Walking in Virtual Reality Using Electrical Muscle Stimulation
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsVirtual worlds are infinite environments in which the user can move around freely. When shifting from controller-based movement to regular walking as an input, the limitation of the real world also limits the virtual world. Tackling this challenge, we ...
Design of an efficient framework for fast prototyping of customized human-computer interfaces and virtual environments for rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is often required after stroke, surgery, or degenerative diseases. It has to be specific for each patient and can be easily calibrated if assisted by human-computer interfaces and virtual reality. Recognition and tracking of different ...
FeetThrough: Electrotactile Foot Interface that Preserves Real-World Sensations
UIST '23: Proceedings of the 36th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyHaptic interfaces have been extended to the feet to enhance foot-based activities, such as guidance while walking or stepping on virtual textures. Most feet haptics use mechanical actuators, namely vibration motors. However, we argue that vibration ...
