Abstract

We developed a fully simulated dual-task paradigm to be used in virtual environment studies implying both eye-head coordination and an increased workload. We utilized a physical smartphone for favoring an authentic touch and haptic feedback, and a free walk on a treadmill, without any imposed control system, to closely replicate real-world postural behavior while facilitating natural walking. These simple and natural tasks may play a key role in future vision sciences studies.
