Purpose: This study employs a virtual reality paradigm to investigate the
cues humans use to estimate traversed distances in a virtual environment.
In this study subjects are
required to wear a virtual reality helmet and ride a stationary bicycle. The
visual scene viewed through the VR helmet will be updated through input from
the pedaling motion of the bicycle. Sometimes the computer cannot update this
scene in real time, therefore very quick movement could possibly lead to
dizziness or motion sickness. Should this occur you are free to stop the
experiment at any time. No penalty will result from termination of the
experiment.
