Abstract
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for a virtual locomotion controller user interface and system that combines data obtained from various sensor devices to allow users to control the movements of their representation in a virtual world using sensorimotor responses closely resembling the tasks and actions they would physically perform in the real world. As a result, users can specify an avatar's locomotion style by assuming body postures normally associated with that type of movement, while controlling locomotion speed or displacement through foot forces and/or stepping motions and locomotion direction through foot and body orientation.
