Demo

Project Overview

we present a simple way “Walking in place” to navigate a virtual environment using Microsoft Kinect. Our system can be re-implemented in relatively low-cost. In order to evaluate this navigation method, we also use Xbox game controller as another navigation method. A fun finding red balls experiment is proposed to evaluate these two methods. Ten subjects participated this experiment with different background and pre-experience. The result contradicts our original hypothesis that Kinect perform better than Xbox game controller after statistical analysis.

Development Tools

Vizard, Python, FAAST, Head-mounted Display (HMD), Microsoft Kinect
