| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | In this study, a novel virtual walking system has been developed for putting the concept of advocating a positive acceptance of the later stages of life or aging, called smart aging, into practice. An essential core of the system can be found in balancing between virtual and real worlds for old people to use pleasantly and safely. The system consists of a laptop computer, micro-projectors, and a completely new screen system mounted on the walking frame, called “walking frame mounted display (WFMD).” Users can physically walk with pleasure by the virtual reality technology and safely by the WFMD in the virtual world. Furthermore, by using the video game controller "Wii Remote" as the sensor, the system is sufficiently inexpensive for home use. Experimental results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the system compared to the virtual reality system with conventional head mounted display. | |
