Abstract

This paper presents a mixed reality system for combining real robots, humans, and virtual robots. The system tracks and controls physical robots in local physical space, and inserts them into a virtual environment (VE). The system allows a human to locomote in a VE larger than the physically tracked space of the laboratory through a form of redirected walking. An evaluation assessed the conditions under which subjects found the system to be the most immersive.
