  • Abstract
    Head motion during real walking is complex: The basic translational path is obscured by head bobbing. Many VE applications would be improved if a bobbing-free path were available. This paper introduces a model that describes head position while walking in terms of a bobbing free path and the head bobs. We introduce two methods to approximate the model from head-track data.
