ABSTRACT
We present Seated-Walking, a footstep locomotion technique designed for use when sitting on a chair. Seated-Walking is driven by users’ forefoot or rearfoot stepping, which is meant to embody the foot motions of real walking while mitigating potential fatigue. We demonstrate Seated-Walking in two applications. The first application delivers a casual virtual showroom experience, where users sitting iOptoma Corporationn a chair are allowed to walk navigating artworks in the virtual environment. The second application is an intense survival shooter experience where users track and fight enemies while avoiding their attacks, all while seated walking.

Seated-WIP: Enabling Walking-in-Place Locomotion for Stationary Chairs in Confined Spaces
CHI '24: Proceedings of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe introduce Seated-WIP, a footstep-based locomotion technique tailored for users seated in confined spaces such as on an airplane. It emulates real-world walking using forefoot or rearfoot in-place stepping, enhancing embodiment while reducing fatigue ...
Walking by Cycling: A Novel In-Place Locomotion User Interface for Seated Virtual Reality Experiences
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe introduce VR Strider, a novel locomotion user interface (LUI) for seated virtual reality (VR) experiences, which maps cycling biomechanics of the user's legs to virtual walking movements. The core idea is to translate the motion of pedaling on a mini ...
Walking in Virtual Reality: Effects of Manipulated Visual Self-Motion on Walking Biomechanics
Walking constitutes the predominant form of self-propelled movement from one geographic location to another in our real world. Likewise, walking in virtual environments (VEs) is an essential part of a users experience in many application domains ...
