Abstract

This paper presents a novel technique of navigation in Virtual Reality (VR) called Drone-Steering. This technique has been designed to facilitate path learning and traveling in VR by reducing both cybersickness and disorientation. We compared this technique to traditional Hand-Steering in a landmark-free environment. Our first experiment confirmed a significantly lower level of cybersickness during traveling and significantly better path learning. We believe that our technique constitutes a promising alternative to current VR navigation techniques, and will especially interest researchers and developers targeting large VR environments.

CHI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Walking-based locomotion techniques in virtual reality (VR) can use redirection to enable walking in a virtual environment larger than the physical one. This results in a mismatch between the perceived virtual and physical movement, which is known to ...
