Abstract
In telexistence master–slave systems, it is important to transmit visual information from remote places to the operator. Conventional imaging devices in head-mounted displays (HMDs) can only express the three-axis rotation of the neck. However, humans can obtain broader visual fields and motion parallax information from the translational motion of their necks. We have proposed a system that can acquire natural and comfortable visual information, and can accurately track the head motion of a person. Our proposed device can express the head motion and the translation movements of the neck. We have developed a robot, called 'TORSO', and constructed a telexistence visual system with a display device, HMD. In this paper, by means of a broader field of view achieved by motion involving looking around, we demonstrate the advantage and novelty of our proposed system. In addition, we suggest the evolution of the TORSO–HMD system.
