Swimming Across the Pacific: A Novel Swimming Interface for VR

Locomotion interfaces to virtual reality environments present many challenges as well as exciting opportunities. Many researchers have examined classes of human movement such as walking, flying, and bicycling as means of locomotion in VR. By contrast, little has been explored in swimming. We outline the current state of development of the Swimming Across the Pacific (SAP) project which aims to ...

The hydrodynamics of eel swimming II. Effect of swimming speed.

Simultaneous swimming kinematics and hydrodynamics are presented for American eels, Anguilla rostrata, swimming at speeds from 0.5 to 2 L s(-1). Body outlines and particle image velocimetry (PIV) data were collected using two synchronized high-speed cameras, and an empirical relationship between swimming motions and fluid flow is described. Lateral impulse in the wake is estimated assuming that...
