Slippery Motion Research
As we move through the natural world, we use a
variety of visuo-motor reflexes to move around objects in our path.
For some time "first person view" video games have successfully
simulated this movement in the virtual world, causing the user to
slide around virtual objects in their path, along walls and around
corners. The effect is so natural, that few players complain about it
and many don't even notice. The experiments outlined in these papers
provide a clear statement of this effect and an empirical basis for
testing it.
