Comparison of Controller-Based Locomotion Techniques for Visual Observation in Virtual Reality

Many virtual reality (VR) applications use teleport for locomotion. The non-continuous locomotion of is suited VR controllers and can minimize simulator sickness, but it also reduce spatial awareness compared to continuous Our aim was create continuous, controller-based techniques that would support awareness. We the new techniques, slider grab, with in a task where participants counted small visual targets environment. Task performance assessed by asking report how many they found. results showed grab were significantly faster than teleport, did not cause more sickness teleport. Moreover, provided better
