....the real building or received no prior training. Results showed that the walking interface conveyed no benefit on the orientation task performed during training in the VE but it did benefit participants when they tried to find objects in the real world. In another relevant study, Slater et al. [6] used foot movements to toggle the participant s state between standing still and moving forward at a fixed velocity. This system proved to promote a higher sense of perceived presence. In a more recent study, Usoh et al. 7] replicated the Slater et al. 6] study adding real walking to the ....

....In another relevant study, Slater et al. 6] used foot movements to toggle the participant s state between standing still and moving forward at a fixed velocity. This system proved to promote a higher sense of perceived presence. In a more recent study, Usoh et al. 7] replicated the Slater et al. [6] study adding real walking to the walking in place and the push button fly interface. This study confirmed the previous findings with subjective presence higher for real walking than walking in place involving, though, a weak overall effect of condition. Real walking was found to be significantly ....

....techniques which will enhance the information retained from the experience for later application to the real world in a simulation scenario such as the one of the Travel Rehearsal application. In this effort we propose techniques which can increase the behavioural presence (Barfield et al. 1995) (Slater et al. 1995). We have developed a set of interactive tools to enhance communication and awareness, based around the concept of the lost traveller in VE who encounters another participant (the helper) and proceeds to obtain directions. During such human encounters a number of modes of communication are ....

....unnatural experiences during a walk through. This can be caused by poor interactive metaphors or by experiences which are not consistent with the user s everyday understanding of the real world. Several attempts have been made to develop new metaphors for walking through virtual environments [2, 3, 4, 5]. However, intuitive metaphors are only able to solve part of the walk through problem. The other part concerns how to provide a virtual environment with more realistic properties so that the user s walk through can be more natural and comfortable. Unconstrained motion is sometimes desirable, ....

....Hertz, 1991] A 1995 study indicated that virtual walking using this technique significantly enhanced the subjective rating of presence compared to flying, for subjects who subjectively associated with their avatars. Avatar association did not significantly enhance presence for flying subjects [Slater, 1995]. Figure 1. View over virtual ledge.

The objectives were: To see if the results of the earlier study hold true, given more recent technology. To compare flying, virtual walking, and real walking with respect to ease of locomotion and subjective presence. ....
