Novel Locomotion
How can humans move intuitively through unfamiliar space?
- Large spaces
- Altered gravity
- Curved worlds
- Unconstrained virtual environments
Embodied Locomotion
Movement is an interface between the body and its model of the world.
ibiLab develops and studies hands-free and body-integrated modes of locomotion for environments in which ordinary walking, terrestrial movement assumptions, or hand controllers become limiting.
Movement Beyond Familiar Worlds
Embodiment
What makes a virtual movement feel like mine?
- Sense of agency
- Body ownership
- Self-location
- Visuomotor congruence
- Proprioceptive alignment
Cybersickness
Can unfamiliar locomotion preserve presence without destabilizing the body?
- Sensory conflict
- Prediction error
- Embodiment
- Movement control
- Spatial orientation
Exploratory Neurorehabilitation
Can immersive movement environments expand how motor adaptation is studied and trained?
ibiLab investigates whether novel locomotion paradigms can create new opportunities for studying movement, agency, confidence, coordination, and adaptive motor behavior in multiple sclerosis.
This is exploratory research and rehabilitation-oriented collaboration. It is not an established therapy, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
