Giant Finger: A Novel Visuo-Somatosensory Approach to Simulating Lower Body Movements in Virtual Reality

Summary

This paper presents Giant Finger, a visuo-somatosensory approach to simulating lower-body movement in virtual reality by mapping leg-like actions to feedback through the user's finger. It offers a compact way to evoke embodied movement sensations without requiring full-body hardware.
