ABSTRACT
We describe the implementation of a playful multi-user virtual riding lesson for beginners. Our work focused on the integration of a wooden horse, equipped with real snaffle and saddle, which is used as input interface to navigate in a 3D environment. With the help of the wooden horse, the user is able to interact with a virtual 3D horse via reins and legs, similar to a real riding scenario.
