Abstract
A VR motion simulator allowing a user to experience a vertical motion in VR environment by analyzing a pressure distribution of a sole of the user and estimating a posture of the user, and a method of implementing a vertical motion action of a user in VR. The simulator includes a pressure distribution image generating module generating a pressure distribution image of a sole of a user at a time of a vertical motion of the user; a sole position tracking module analyzing the pressure distribution image to detect the sole of the user, and track a position of the sole on the basis of movement of the detected sole to output sole position tracking information; and a posture estimating module estimating a posture of the user on the basis of the sole position tracking information to output posture estimation information.
