This paper examined the influence of passive whole-body motions such as heave or yaw motions by a motorized chair on inducing a sensation of walking for seated participants in virtual environments while viewing a VR scene through an HMD. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the influence of passive whole-body motions on perception as if the participant were walking. Experimental results show that the perception of pseudo-walking was greatly affected by heave motions rather than yaw motions, but just with a limited range of amplitude of heave motions. Our results suggest that the passive whole-body motions in the gravitational axis allow a clear perception of pseudo-walking. In addition, we found a strong correlation between the scores of a walking sensation and a motion sickness.
