TurkDeck: Physical Virtual Reality Based on People
summary
A system that uses human actuators to place and actuate modular props (boards, sticks, suitcases) on demand, guided by floor projections and audio instructions, to create touchable VR. Demonstrated a 300 m2 virtual world inside a 25 m2 physical space using portals and 5×5 m segments. Scheduler orders 8–10 prop placements; complex mechanisms (zip line, animated walls) require up to five people and delay tricks to avoid outpacing them. User study (N=11) rates immersion 4.9 vs 3.6 over a prop-less baseline; limits are human speed, fatigue, and ~30-minute training.
