Running in place

recorded by Bumble of RIPmotion by Ryan Sullivan

By walking and running in place with the controller facing directly ahead, this method mimics the movement of walking and running allowing users to navigate environments naturally with reduced chances of simulation sickness.

Strengths:

Reduces simulation sickness

Natural and easy to learn

Weaknesses

Might be obtrusive if users also need their hands for other tasks while navigating an environment

It can be tedious or tiresome after extended use

Can be inefficient when navigating large environments
