Abstract
We introduce a novel virtual reality (VR) ride system consisting of a head-mounted display (HMD), an electric wheelchair and an electric wheeled ramp as an amusement park attraction. The electric wheeled ramp which is a customized electric wheelchair can carry a user wearing an HMD and is able to control its speed, acceleration, and orientation. This system presents the sense of continuous moving on a slope and the sense of movement on a slope with varying curvatures in the ascending and descending experiences, thus amplifying the perception of virtual ascent and descent.
