ABSTRACT
Wind turbines (WT) are socially controversial because of their visual and acoustic impacts on landscape. Virtual reality (VR) is here proposed - thanks to immersion and interaction potentialities - as an immersive and multisensory approach in order to assess WT impacts. For that, a comparison between a real park and the same virtual one is needed to evaluate VR for landscape impacts restitution. The parks are evaluated using an urban path-based method (perception in motion): the real walking is simulated by a Wiimote in vitro. The results, while very similar to the in situ study show the limits of the lack of free motion.
