The first pedal and/or the second pedal resets after sensing that the first object and/or the second object has stepped thereon. A VR walking method corresponding to the VR walking mechanism is further provided.

A multipurpose exercise device having a base that rests on a support surface and a user platform upon which the user stands. The lower end of a perpendicular support post is mounted to the base to axially pivot thereon and the upper end of the post is pivotally mounted to the lower surface of the user platform. The user platform pivots with the support post in a horizontal plane parallel to the support surface and pivots on the support post in a vertical plane perpendicular to the horizontal support surface. Resistance elements are provided having one end mounted to the support post and the other end mounted to the base to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the user platform in the horizontal plane. Preferably, a plurality of resistance elements are provided having one end mounted to the base and the other end mounted to the user platform to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the user platform in the vertical plane. In use, the user stands on the user platform and performs exercise motions to propel the user platform to pivot in the horizontal plane and the vertical plane.

The present disclosure generally relates to a method for controlling a medical device. The method may comprise tracking movement of a foot with a hands-free device and processing movement of the foot to move a cursor, wherein the cursor is disposed on a display screen of the medical device. The method may further comprise receiving a selection of at least one icon with the cursor through the hands-free device. A system for controlling a medical device may comprise a console and a display screen coupled to the console and may be configured to display a cursor. The system may further comprise a hands-free device. The hands-free device may be communicatively coupled to the console and may be operable to track movement within a tracking area and generate an output. The system may further comprise a medical device connected to the console and a processor configured to execute instructions.

A portable hands-free computer accessory having a housing, a controller, and a first and second button separated by a surface area configured to accommodate a foot of a user. The controller is configured to detect a first set of two or more commands associated with a first set of one or more actuation types of the first button, each command from the first set of commands corresponding to a respective actuation type from the first set of actuation types, detect a second set of two or more commands associated with a second set of one or more actuation types of the second button, each command from the second set of playback commands corresponding to a respective different actuation type from the second set of actuation types, and, based on the first and second sets of commands, control playback of a video displayed on a computing device.

An article of footwear includes an upper member and a sole structure, with a sensor system connected to the sole structure. The sensor system includes a plurality of sensors that are configured for detecting forces exerted by a user's foot on the sensor. Each sensor includes two electrodes that are in communication with a force sensitive resistive material. The electrodes and the force sensitive resistive material may have multi-lobed shapes. Additionally, the sensor system may be provided on an insert that may form a sole member of the article of footwear. The insert may have slits therethrough, and may have a defined peripheral shape.

A device for determining motion in virtual or real spaces is arranged inside at least one shoe, provided with a sole which can tilt along one or more directions. The device includes at least one gyroscope provided with an accelerometer, a module for transmitting data to a virtual reality viewing device or to a computer, which include elements adapted to process the data in order to provide the direction of motion in the virtual or real space, a power supply source.

A simulation system includes a processor including hardware. The processor performs a moving body process of performing a process of moving a moving body corresponding to a user wearing an HMD in a virtual space, a virtual camera control process of controlling a virtual camera moving in accordance with a movement of the moving body, and a display process of generating an image as viewed from the virtual camera in the virtual space as a display image of the HMD. In the display process, the processor performs a display process of changing, when a change in acceleration of the moving body or a change in a line-of-sight direction of the virtual camera is determined to have satisfied a given change condition, the display image on the HMD to an image different from the image as viewed from the virtual camera.

Systems and methods for providing stationary omnidirectional locomotion for virtual reality or other applications. An omnidirectional mobility system (OMS) is provided that allows a user thereof to walk or run in all directions as the OMS constrains the user's movement relative to an environment to within a small area. The OMS includes two independent mobile OMS devices that each support one of the user's feet. Each OMS device tracks one of the user's feet during movement and moves responsive to the tracking to remain under the user's feet, thereby providing stationary locomotion. Each of the two OMS devices may include a plurality of tracking sensors, and a plurality of wheels to provide omnidirectional movement. Non-limiting examples of drives/wheels that may be used include Mecanum based systems, omni based systems, swerve drives, etc.
