Put me There: Teleportation in VR
Source: Put Me There Project
Virtual reality (VR) has developed into a promising technology that opens up new ways for people to interact with digital content. By putting on VR glasses, users are immersed in a virtual 3D environment that they can explore through natural body movements and direct interaction with their hands. In addition to games, VR is already being used successfully in a variety of ways, for example to train new skills, support medical procedures, preserve cultural heritage and evaluate architectural designs, to name just a few of the different areas of application.
However, most virtual environments in the various application areas are larger than the physical area in which a user can move around with VR glasses. Therefore, navigation techniques that move the user’s position through the environment purely virtually are crucial to enable unrestricted exploration.
