Abstract

Augmented reality Human-computer interaction Locomotion Touch screen displays Virtual reality
This chapter reviews techniques and technologies for interaction via the feet with touch-sensitive floor surfaces that are augmented with multimodal (visual, auditory, and/or haptic) feedback. We discuss aspects of human-computer interaction with such interfaces, including potential applications in virtual and augmented reality for floor based user interfaces and immersive walking simulations. Several realizations of augmented floor surfaces are discussed, and we review one case example that has been extensively investigated by the authors, along with evaluations that have been reported in prior literature. Potential applications in the domains of human-computer interaction and virtual reality are also reviewed.
