The Impact of Avatar Appearance, Perspective and Context on Gait Variability and User Experience in Virtual Reality

Gait supervision plays an important role in the diagnosis, analysis and rehabilitation of motor impairments and neurodegenerative disorders. For example, in Parkinson's disease, gait assessment is used for progression observation and medication guidance. Previous work has presented the potential of virtual reality (VR) supported gait applications. While virtual environments and user representation...
