Current definitions of immersion describe its relationship to presence and allow for relative comparisons between the immersive qualities of Virtual Reality (VR) systems, but lack the ability to describe the immersion supported by a system as an absolute quantity. In this paper, we present an abstract model of perception, defining sensory units as...

Many VR “simulated walking locomotion systems” have been developed to allow for movement in virtual environments in a manner similar to how people move in the real world. Similarly, several solutions that could be classified as “inverse treadmills” (in which the motion of running is translated to devices attached to the foot) exist. However, in the...
