Virtual walking system for re-experiencing the journey of another person

Virtual-reality researchers have developed a virtual-walking system that records a person’s walking and re-plays it with vision and foot vibrations. Psychological experiments showed that the sensation of walking and telepresence from the oscillating visual flow combined with foot vibrations is stronger than without vibrations. The system can reconstruct the experience of walking to people who are a distance away, or who have a disability that may impair walking in the future.
