Physical Feedback Exercise System Design and Implementation For Virtual and Enhanced Reality Applications

Öz

In this study, an exercise system that provides physical movement feedback for people who cannot exercise outdoors due to reasons such as old age, health problems or weather conditions and is suitable for future virtual reality and augmented reality applications has been designed and implemented. This system consists of rearranging an exercise bike structure to receive feedback, a two-degree-of-freedom mechanical system that can perform body roll and forward-backward pitch movements according to the given slope information, and an electronic circuit that processes the necessary sensor inputs and generates control signals. In this way, the user can obtain a real feeling, such as pedal strain while climbing a slope and leaning forward while descending, similar to real environmental conditions. Scenarios can be produced on this system in which various environmental conditions.

Sanal Gerçeklik ve Geliştirilmiş Gerçeklik Uygulamaları için Fiziksel Geribeslemeli Egzersiz Sistemi Tasarımı ve Uygulaması

Öz

Bu çalışmada yaşlılık, sağlık sorunları veya hava şartları gibi nedenlerle bina dışı ortamda egzersiz yapamayan kişiler için fiziksel hareket geri beslemesi sağlayan ve ilerideki sanal gerçeklik ve geliştirilmiş gerçeklik uygulamalarına uygun bir egzersiz sistemi tasarlanmış ve uygulanmıştır. Bu sistem bir egzersiz bisikleti yapısının geri besleme alınacak şekilde yeniden düzenlenmesi, verilen eğim bilgisine göre gövde yana yatma (yatış) ve öne arkaya yatma (yunuslama) hareketlerini yapabilen iki serbestlik dereceli bir mekanik sistemden ve gerekli sensör girişlerini işleyerek kontrol sinyallerini üreten bir elektronik devreden oluşmaktadır. Bu sayede kullanıcı gerçek ortam koşullarına benzer şekilde eğim çıkarken pedal zorlanması, inişlerde öne doğru eğilme gibi gerçek bir his elde edebilmektedir. Bu sistem üzerinde çeşitli ortam koşulların üretilebileceği senaryolar üretilebilmektedir.
