  • Abstract
    We have developed an immersive projection system which enables the viewer to experience a truly immersive feeling by looking at a wide-angle image on multiple surrounding screens. Our system is similar to previous systems but has a unique point in that it includes a new motion-based ride system as part of the environment. This ride system includes a seat that can be moved and rotated to give a rider (viewer) a sense of acceleration. We have used this environment to develop an application in which the viewer can experience a sensation of moving around in a virtual world while riding a virtually moving machine, such as a virtual vehicle.
