User Study on Mid-air Teleportation in Virtual Reality
Summary
Navigation is one of the fundamental and interactive tasks in virtual reality (VR) and is usually categorized into locomotion and wayfinding. VR locomotion is the technology that enables users to move from one place to another within a virtual environment. Among locomotion techniques, teleportation has been acknowledged as one of the most preferable and effective solutions. At the same time, the point and teleportation (P&T) technique is the most popular teleportation technique that has been widely adopted in virtual reality applications. While a key benefit of the virtual environment is allowing users to navigate freely by removing the limitations caused by physical constraints and gravity, most research work on the P&T technique only focuses on navigating 3D space on a horizontal surface.
Our study aims to investigate what noval P&T technique is efficient and effective to navigate 3D virtual environment through target position in mid air.
