The monotony of movements makes frozen shoulder rehabilitation an boring task for certain patients. This study posits that gamification and the presence others can effectively address this issue. Accordingly, we developed a virtual reality (VR) application exercises empirically examined effects on duration. A user 32 subjects revealed integration game elements into VR program significantly prolonged duration ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
This study aimed to develop an effective VR locomotion technique for walking through virtual environments with sloped ground. Thus, this paper presents a novel method inducing the sensation of on slope in walking-in-place (WIP) using ankle tendon electrical stimulation (TES), which induces body tilt sensation. We conducted two experiments evaluate effectiveness proposed method. In Experiment 1, we evaluated ascending and descending slopes induced by setup where electricity flows when feet...
Redirected walking (RDW) allows users to explore virtual spaces larger than physical while preserving a natural sensation. Expanding the range of visual manipulation gains that can be applied without causing discomfort is necessary apply RDW in practice. Ankle tendon electrical stimulation (TES) has potential expand by inducing body tilt sensation and sway. Therefore, this study, we proposed locomotion method applies ankle TES RDW. In experiment, evaluated how affects detection threshold...
This demonstration introduces ElectricalVRSki, a VR skiing application using ankle tendon electrical stimulation (TES) that presents various ground shape perceptions, dynamically. The novelty of our dynamic sensory presentation system is its employment TES, which can be controlled dynamically computer and controller are small lightweight. To achieve the perception changes dynamically, we investigated intervals for switching TES at body tilt sensation could perceived. Then, confirmed user's...
