Abstract

Coupling a wearable computer with a low-power wireless sensor network allows for the introduction of novel sensors into virtual environments. Wireless sensors can be placed anywhere on the user without cabling and other complications. The wearable computer gives access to large libraries of device drivers, which allows system designers to incorporate interaction devices from the world of computer gaming into high-end Virtual Reality (VR) systems. The use of VRJuggler makes the system platform independent. This work presents a new integrated wireless communications system, for interaction devices in VR environments.
