Abstract
This paper introduces a virtual reality-based MTM that also allows for real walking in virtual factories without using a treadmill or other walking devices. With a subtle redirection of the user during walking, these virtual factories can even be larger than the available physical space. Hence, a realistic measuring of walking times and distances can be done instead of an estimation. Since the MTM can be completely performed within a virtual environment, it gives a new realism to the method compared to the cardboard procedure. The paper closes with an outlook on future work and extensions of this novel virtual MTM.
