Walkthrough simulation is effective for design and presentation of buildings or urban space. This paper presents method of implementing a new interface device for locomotion in virtual space. The walker wears omni-directional sliding devices on the feet, which generate feel of walking while position of the walker is fixed in the physical world. A hoop is set around the walker's waist by which the position of the walker is limited. The walker can freely change the direction of walking in the hoop. Scene of virtual space is displayed in a head-mounted display corresponding with the motion of the feet and head. Usability of the system is tested by 235 novice users at SIGGRAPH'95. 94% of the participants could freely walk around the virtual space.
