Virtual Balance™

The idea of a flying carpet inspired the development of the Virtual Balance™ interface for intuitive navigation through virtual spaces by body movement. It consists of a platform with three weight sensors yielding different signals depending on the body's centre of gravity. The first demonstration was a flight over the ancient city of Xanten.
