Natural Interactive Walking (NIW)

Gallery



Background
Funding was provided by the Ministère du Développement économique, de l’Innovation et de l’Exportation (Québec) in coordination with the European Commission Seventh Framework FET-OPEN project NIW: Natural Interactive Walking (no. 222107).
Additional support was provided by a CIRMMT student research project award (2006–2008, Y. Visell supervised by J. Cooperstock, M. Wanderley).
