AB - This study proposes a low-cost, Arduino-based walking interface designed to enhance user immersion in virtual reality (VR) content. The interface detects various user locomotion patterns such as walking, running, and limping, and reflects them in the movement of the virtual character, thereby increasing the sense of immersion. To achieve this, a sensor device based on Arduino was developed to analyze acceleration data from a gyroscopic sensor, which was then synchronized with character animations and first-person visual effects in the Unity3D engine. Additionally, the system supports Bluetooth-based mobile device integration and multi-user environments, enabling both HMD and non-HMD users to share the same virtual experience. Owing to its low cost and high compatibility, this interface can provide immersive VR experiences to a wide range of users, including those with mobility impairments, suggesting its potential applications in fields such as healthcare, education, and psychological rehabilitation.
