Locmotion in Virtual Reality


Overview

Virtual Reality locomotion centers around developing techniques to enable users to explore large virtual environments. Exploration can be done through various interfaces, such as teleportation, flying, or natural walking, each with their own pros and cons. Our group is currently focused on improving locomotion using interfaces that work using natural walking, due to its benefits to the user’s sense of presence in the virtual experience.


Software

  • Pasumi: Pasumi is a library for simulating users walking in virtual environments while being steered in the physical environment using redirected walking.
