Taking steps: the influence of a walking technique on presence in virtual reality
Special issue on virtual reality software and technology

This article presents an interactive technique for moving through an immersive virtual environment (or “virtual reality”). The technique is suitable for applications where locomotion is restricted to ground level. The technique is derived from the idea ...
Establishing the Range of Perceptually Natural Visual Walking Speeds for Virtual Walking-In-Place Locomotion

Walking-In-Place (WIP) techniques make it possible to facilitate relatively natural locomotion within immersive virtual environments that are larger than the physical interaction space. However, in order to facilitate natural walking experiences one ...
Walking by Cycling: A Novel In-Place Locomotion User Interface for Seated Virtual Reality Experiences
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We introduce VR Strider, a novel locomotion user interface (LUI) for seated virtual reality (VR) experiences, which maps cycling biomechanics of the user's legs to virtual walking movements. The core idea is to translate the motion of pedaling on a mini ...
