In practice, real-world physical workspaces and technological limitations restrict the free and
unlimited exploration of an arbitrary large-scale virtual environment. This article provides an
overview of the existing approaches and techniques for enlarging the walkable virtual
space. The authors specifically focus on the methods that use spatial manipulation for
spatial compression because it is one of the most promising, but underexplored methods for
nonintrusive user redirection in a limited physical space.
