Embodiment Construction

[0018] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the virtual reality system of the present invention. The virtual reality system 1 includes a pressure sensing mat 100 , a virtual reality (VR) processor 200 and a display 400 . It should be understood that various exemplary embodiments of the virtual reality system of the present invention may have any number and configuration of components, each of which uses pressure sensing pads to sense the user's movements to generate the virtual environment.

[0019] FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a pressure sensing mat 100 of the present invention. The pressure sensing mat 100 includes a semi-rigid base layer 120 . Any suitable material can be used for the base layer 120, such as plastic, hardwood, and polycarbonate (Lexan). Over the base layer 120 is a grid 140 (ie, a two-dimensional array) of pressure sensing elements 150 - 1 through 150 -n. Top layer 160 is above grid 140 . Any suitable layer can be used for the top layer 16...

Abstract

Virtual reality system transposes a user's position and movement in real space to virtual space. The virtual reality system includes a locomotion interface that outputs signals indicative of a user's position in real space. The locomotion interface includes a pressure-sensing mat having a base layer, a plurality of pressure sensing elements and a counter-force generating layer formed over the base layer, and a top layer formed over the plurality of pressure-sensing elements. The plurality of pressure sensing elements output a signal indicative of pressure applied to the top layer. A virtual reality processor uses the signals output by the locomotion interface to produce an output indicative of the user's position in the virtual space corresponding to the user's position and movement in the real space. A display uses the output from the virtual reality processor to produce an image of the virtual space.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to a virtual reality system that allows users to fully integrate into a virtual space. Background technique [0002] Virtual reality is a computer-generated environment in which users can immerse themselves. The user's actions are translated by the computer into inputs that affect the virtual environment (VE). Virtual reality systems can simulate naturally occurring senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, and movement, allowing users to navigate a virtual environment as if they were in the real world. [0003] A major challenge facing VR system designers is designing VR systems that allow humans to move naturally. Existing virtual reality systems that allow users to move naturally require complex and expensive equipment. While other virtual reality systems abandon the concept of natural human motion and use only simple hardware, users can navigate the virtual environment through artificial gestures, such as f...
