Abstract
We developed a novel virtual reality (VR) system that can transform objects using visuo-haptic redirected walking techniques. By using rotational manipulation and body warping techniques we can change the shape of objects. In the proposed system, it is possible to transform a square table into an equilateral triangle or a regular pentagonal table. Users can check the change in the shape by touching the edge of the table while walking around it.
