I Would Walk 500 (Virtual Miles) More

by   Robert MacHunter

The Robotics Design Lab has developed a method to allow VR users to walk through virtual environments without translating in real life. This means that they can go arbitrary virtual distances without crashing into non-virtual walls. While another project is finalising the algorithms, this project involves developing a "works like", "looks like", "feels like" prototype. By modelling a real final product as closely as possible, this project will allow us to show potential what our technology will be like in hands of users. You may get to walk around VR using a product just like these in the very near future!
