Obstacle Circumvention Strategies During Omnidirectional Treadmill Walking in Virtual Reality

Obstacle circumvention is an important task for community ambulation that is challenging to replicate in research and clinical environments. Omnidirectional treadmills combined with virtual reality (ODT-VR) offer a promising solution, allowing users to change walking direction and speed while walkin...
