Reliable forward walking parameters from head-track data alone

Wendt, Jeremy D.; Whitton, Mary C.; Adalsteinsson, David; Brooks, Frederick P.

Head motion during real walking is complex: The basic translational path is obscured by head bobbing. Many VE applications would be improved if a bobbing-free path were available. This paper introduces a model that describes head position while walking in terms of a bobbing free path and the head bobs. We introduce two methods to approximate the model from head-track data. © 2012 IEEE.
