An Evaluation Testbed for Locomotion in Virtual Reality

Alberto Cannavo et al.

Summary: This article introduces a novel evaluation testbed to support a comprehensive analysis of locomotion approaches in VR environments. An experimental protocol for collecting objective and subjective measures, along with a scoring system to rank approaches, is proposed. The testbed usage is illustrated in a use case for selecting a technique in a given application scenario.

Controlling Teleportation-Based Locomotion in Virtual Reality with Hand Gestures: A Comparative Evaluation of Two-Handed and One-Handed Techniques

Alexander Schaefer et al.

Summary: Virtual Reality (VR) technology allows users to navigate virtual worlds through hand gestures, with studies showing that it is possible to comfortably and effectively move through virtual worlds using just one hand. Researchers evaluated four different techniques with 21 participants to determine the effectiveness, efficiency, and user preferences of these techniques. The results revealed that hand gestures can be a natural and efficient way to control locomotion in VR.

The Role of Binocular Vision in Avoiding Virtual Obstacles While Walking

Jingbo Zhao et al.

Summary: The study examined the impact of binocular viewing on virtual locomotion through two experiments involving walking over obstacles and gaps in virtual environments. Results showed that binocular viewing helped individuals make more precise movements when stepping over obstacles and gaps. This suggests that binocular viewing plays a crucial role in virtual locomotion.

Comparison of Controller-Based Locomotion Techniques for Visual Observation in Virtual Reality

Jussi Rantala et al.

Summary: The aim of the study was to create continuous, controller-based locomotion techniques to support spatial awareness. The new techniques, slider and grab, were significantly faster to use than teleport in a task where participants counted visual targets in a VR environment. These continuous techniques did not cause significantly more simulator sickness than teleport and provided better spatial awareness.
