Using a Virtual Reality Walking Simulator to Investigate Pedestrian Behavior

This highly immersive virtual reality protocol allows us to investigate how people adjust their emotion during crossing. Virtual walking on a treadmill makes it possible to fully captures the reciprocal relationship between perception and action. This message that can provide insight into the field of behavioral ecology as well as allow researchers to explore our passions in pedestrian safety and autonomous vehicle development.

It is helpful to use diagrams to visualize the crossing situation so that the researcher may calibrate the parameters correctly to suit the purpose of his or her study. Demonstrating their procedure will be Hui Li, a graduate student from my laboratory. Begin by setting the parameters on the Walking Simulator using the Config Directory.
