ABSTRACT
Locomotion in Immersive Virtual Environments (IVEs) is one of the most basic interactions, while human walking is the most natural user-interface for this. Obviously, this technique is limited by the available physical space. Redirected Walking (RDW) wants to overcome this issue by subliminal redirection of the user inside the physical space. Traditional RDW algorithms need a circle with a radius of 22m to allow the user the exploration of an infinite virtual world. Because this is still too large to fit in a room-scale setup, we have to optimize detection thresholds and algorithms.
Bolte et al. already examined reorientation and repositioning during saccades and showed that a subtle manipulation is possible. In this poster we describe how we investigated reorientation and repositioning of the user in the virtual world during eye blinks. Furthermore, we present an experimental setup for evaluating detection thresholds of reorientation and repositioning during eye blinks. And we indicate first impressions of the perception and the usability.

Instant Hand Redirection in Virtual Reality Through Electrical Muscle Stimulation-Triggered Eye Blinks
VRST '23: Proceedings of the 29th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyIn this paper we investigate the use of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to trigger eye blinks for instant hand redirection in virtual reality (VR). With the rapid development of VR technology and increasing user expectations for realistic experiences,...
Demonstration of RedirectedDoors: Manipulating User’s Orientation while Opening Doors in Virtual Reality
SA '22: SIGGRAPH Asia 2022 XRWe present an installation demonstrating the applicability of RedirectedDoors, a redirection technique that occasionally manipulates the user’s orientation during door-opening motions. In this demo, the player explores an indoor virtual environment ...
Reorientation Method to Suppress Simulator Sickness in Home VR Contents Using HMD
Entertainment Computing – ICEC 2018AbstractWhile home-use HMD including Oculus Rift has been widely spread in the market today, simulator sickness mainly caused by difference between visual information and body sensation has taken up as a problem. Even though it has been proved that ...
