  • This invention is directed to a VIRTUAL REALITY WALKING SIMULATOR AND SAFE TREADMILL which detects bodily activities of a person through sensors like a gyroscope or a distance detector, transfer them to a player within a computer game or any other 3D world created on a computer and ensures that the person directs the computer through his/her activities like walking, running, turning, touching, etc.
  • the device is designed for use as a SAFE TREADMILL as a supplementary utility.
  • a number of companies has tried to simulate walking, i.e. simulate walking activity with walking on a computer through various techniques (such as walking on an inside surface of a ball and transferring the data to the computer), but none of them achieved successful results.
  • a US company achieved to transfer the activity of feet which are slipped over a slippery ground to the computer as a walking simulation, but failed to create a real sense of walking since human brain resists to believe that he/she is walking by just shuffling feet over the ground.
  • the purpose of this invention is to provide a VIRTUAL REALITY WALKING, RUNNING AND TURNING SIMULATOR comprising a rotary band (5) to give a sense of walking and running most suitable for human nature, a 360 degrees rotary platform (5) to ensure WALKING OR RUNNING ACTIVITIES ON A COMPUTER TOWARDS ANY DIRECTION HE/SHE CHOOSES, and a safety circle (3) and safety belt (2) to ensure that all activities are performed safely while the user is using a virtual reality glasses (thus can not see the actual world).

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un simulateur de marche de réalité virtuelle et un tapis roulant sûr qui détecte des activités corporelles d'une personne par l'intermédiaire de capteurs tels qu'un gyroscope ou un détecteur de distance, les transfère à un joueur à l'intérieur d'un jeu informatique ou de tout autre monde 3D créé sur un ordinateur et garantit que la personne dirige l'ordinateur par le biais de ses activités telles que la marche, la course, la rotation, le toucher, etc. Le dispositif est conçu pour être utilisé en tant que tapis roulant sûr comme installation supplémentaire.
