Abstract

Recently, the development of HMDs such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PSVR has led to an increase in the interest of people in virtual reality (VR), and many related studies have been published. This leads to an additional cost increase in configuring the VR system. Also, space problems are caused. When the treadmill is installed, additional space is required, which may adversely affect the popularization of VR. In this paper, we propose a local area VR environment that solves cost and space problems using human tracking using several Kinect and solves the hygiene problems using smartphone-based mobile HMD.
