Walking-in-place (WIP) is a locomotion technique that enables users to "walkinfinitely" through vast virtual environments using walking-like gestureswithin a limited physical space. This paper investigates alternativeinteraction schemes for WIP, addressing successively the control, input, andoutput of WIP. First, we introduce a novel height-based control to increaseadvanced speed. Second, we introduce a novel input system for WIP based onelastic and passive strips. Third, we introduce the use of pseudo-hapticfeedback as a novel output for WIP meant to alter walking sensations. Theresults of a series of user studies show that height and frequency basedcontrol of WIP can facilitate higher virtual speed with greater efficacy andease than in frequency-based WIP. Second, using an upward elastic input systemcan result in a stable virtual speed control, although excessively strongelastic forces may impact the usability and user experience. Finally, using apseudo-haptic approach can improve the perceived realism of virtual slopes.Taken together, our results suggest that, for future VR applications, there isvalue in further research into the use of alternative interaction schemes forwalking-in-place.
