Abstract. The problem of the occurrence of locomotion disease symptoms in users of virtual reality helmets is discussed. To control the user's movement in virtual reality, a controller implementing the walking-in-place technique is proposed. The device consists of three sensors fixed on the user's legs and chest. The analysis of sensor readings is carried out is used as a basis of developed algorithms for recognizing steps, suppressing random deviations, and increasing the system stability. Results of an experiment involving 44 volunteers are presented to demonstrate a decrease in the frequency of simulation disorder symptoms when using the developed controller.
Keywords: motion recognition, signal filtering, virtual reality, signal analysis
