“…Employing whole body interaction is an effective method to enhance the immersive quality of interactive contents [5,6,7,8,9,10]. Possible methods of realizing whole body interaction include using body worn sensors (or markers and large scale surround sensing system) and haptic/tactile device (body worn [11,12,13] or platform type).…”

Abstract. In this paper, we propose to enact interaction by "extreme" motion involving multiple body parts and thereby maximize the whole body experience. By detecting the relative movements among multiple body parts, rather than an extended motion of just a single body part, the extreme motion can be contained within the personal space (not to disturb others around). Such a scheme was tested on a simple mobile game and compared to interfaces that were based on conventional touch interface and absolute motion detection. Experimental results showed that while incorporating extreme "relative" motion resulted in higher level of excitement and user experience by involving more body parts, the control performance significantly suffered (due to the head movements).

Whole‐body interaction is an effective way to promote the level of presence and immersion in virtual reality systems. In this paper, we introduce “G‐Bar,” a grounded isometric interaction device that naturally induces whole‐body interaction without complicated sensing and active haptic feedback apparatus. G‐Bar takes advantage of the significant passive reaction force feedback sensed throughout the body to produce an enhanced level of presence/immersion and possibly even task performance. For detailed investigation in the contributing factors, two experiments were carried out to assess the comparative effectiveness of G‐Bar to the following: (1) grounded but isotonic device (with force feedback and without); and (2) nongrounded handheld devices (both isotonic and isometric). The results showed that the G‐Bar induced significantly higher presence and competitive task performance (fixed velocity navigation) than the isotonic (grounded or handheld) and nongrounded isometric interfaces. Compared with the grounded isometric device with active force feedback, G‐Bar produced competitive performance. In particular, the analysis of the subjective evaluation revealed a high correlation between the level of presence and whole‐body interaction. On the other hand, whole‐body experience was not induced as much with just the active force‐feedback devices. Thus, for appropriate tasks, the grounded isometric interface can be a viable alternative to expensive and mechanically limiting active force‐feedback devices in enhancing user experience.

Whole body interaction is an important element in promoting the level of presence and immersion in virtual reality systems. In this paper, we investigate the effect of "grounding" the interaction device to take advantage of the significant passive reaction force feedback sensed throughout the body, and thus in effect realizing the whole body interaction without complicated sensing and feedback apparatus. An experiment was conducted to assess the task performance and level of presence/immersion, as compared to a keyboard input method, using a maze navigation task. The results showed that while the G-Bar did induce significantly higher presence and the task performance (maze completion time and number of wall collisions) was on par with the already familiar keyboard interface. The keyboard user instead had to adjust and learn how to navigate faster and not collide with the wall over time, indicating that the whole body interaction contributed to a better perception of the immediate space. Thus considering the learning rate and the relative unfamiliarity of G-Bar, with sufficient training, G-Bar could accomplish both high presence/immersion and task performance for s.
