recorded by Vision VR/AR Summit of Audi Virtual Reality Experience by Re’flekt
Designed to allow users to naturally walk continuously around a large object (car) that is bigger than their tracked play area. In this method, users can see visual cues on the floor at the edge of their play area (the red areas) which, when stood on, movements become exaggerated by the play area (the grey box) also moving virtually in that direction.
Strengths:
A rare locomotion method that does not require any use of a controller
A very natural and intuitive way to explore
Dramatically reduces the possibility of any simulation sickness
Weaknesses
Can be inaccessible for those in smaller play areas or those who are playing from a seated position.
