Virtual reality (VR) has enjoyed significant popularity in recent years. Where navigation has
been a fundamental appeal of 3D applications for decades, facilitating this in VR has been …

The fidelity level of virtual reality (VR) setups can affect different aspects of virtual
experiences, but its effects on knowledge acquisition and retention need clarification. The …

There are many methods of exploring an HMD-based virtual environment such as using a
game controller, physically walking, walking in place, teleporting, flying, leaning, etc. The …

In this paper, we use an inexpensive wearable device called the Myo armband (199 USD) to
implement a simple arm swinging algorithm that allows a user to freely explore an HMD …

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is seemingly on the verge of entering the homes of
consumers. Enabling users to walk through virtual worlds in a limited physical space …

In this systematic literature review, we study the role of user logging in virtual reality
research. By categorizing literature according to data collection methods and identifying …

The utility of immersive virtual environments (VEs) for applications involving spatial cognition
is likely to increase if users can perceive and act in VEs as they do in the real world. In this …

Efficient locomotion methods have been proposed to compensate for the limited space in
real-world environments, and such methods offer users more immersive and natural …

Spatial navigation, the ability to explore, learn, and remember one's environment, is a skill
that is fundamental to everyday goals. Navigation is challenging to study because it requires …

In this work, we present a simple method of" walking in place"(WIP) using the Microsoft
Kinect to explore a virtual environment (VE) with a head-mounted display (HMD). Other …
