Claim 15:
16. A foot powered immersed reality system, comprising:
an ambulation simulating apparatus, comprising:
a user feet interface;
a dynamic inertia mechanism; and
a kinematic connection configured to enable transmission of motion between the dynamic inertia mechanism and the user feet interface;
wherein the dynamic inertia mechanism is configured to:
in response to an active motion of a leg of a user on the user feet interface, rotate to store kinetic energy and provide an inertial load; and
via the kinematic connection and the user interface, release the stored kinetic energy associated with the inertial load to counteract accelerating or decelerating leg of the user during each phase of an ambulatory cycle to provide the user with a sensation of stability;

at least one position sensor and at least one pressure sensor which are provided for each of a first and a second foots of the user; and
a processor configured to:
receive and process a position indicating signal from each of the position sensors and a force indicating signal from each of the pressure sensors to determine characteristics of associated real-time leg motion; and
generate images representative of an immersed reality environment that correspond to a real-time position of the first and second foots of the user.
