The validity of the results gathered in such simulations, however, is widely unknown\u2014in particular, with regard to human locomotion behavior. To bridge this gap, this article presents an experiment analyzing the behavioral disparity between human locomotion being performed without any equipment and in immersive VR while wearing a head-mounted display (HMD). The presented study (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 30) is split up in three sections and covers linear walking, non-linear walking, and obstacle avoidance. Special care has been given to design the experiment so that findings are generally valid and can be applied to a wide range of domains beyond the manufacturing industry. The findings provide novel insights into the effect of immersive VR on specific gait parameters. In total, a comprehensive sample of 18.09km is analyzed. The results reveal that the HMD had a medium effect (up to 13%) on walking velocity, on non-linear walking toward an oriented target, and on clearance distance. The overall differences are modeled using multiple regression models, thus allowing the general usage within various domains. Summarizing, it can be concluded that VR can be used to analyze and plan human locomotion; however, specific details may have to be adjusted to transfer findings to the real world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3230648","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,19]],"date-time":"2018-07-19T13:04:55Z","timestamp":1532005495000},"page":"1-19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Behavior Analysis of Human Locomotion in the Real World and Virtual Reality for the Manufacturing Industry"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7968-2558","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philipp","family":"Agethen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Daimler AG and Ulm University, Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viswa Subramanian","family":"Sekar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daimler AG, Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Felix","family":"Gaisbauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daimler AG and Ulm University, Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thies","family":"Pfeiffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CITEC, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Otto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daimler AG and Ulm University, Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enrico","family":"Rukzio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ulm University, Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","volume-title":"Reference data for normal subjects obtained with an accelerometric device.
