Is Walking Necessary for Effective Locomotion and Interaction in VR?

摘要

This paper reports on a work-in-progress study to investigate if/how leaning-based interfaces affect simultaneous locomotion and interaction. We compare physical walking and Controller with a seated (i.e., HeadJoystick) and standing (i.e., Naviboard) leaning-based interface. We disambiguated performance in locomotion versus interaction using a novel experimental paradigm, where participants should point toward moving targets using their virtual light-saber while actively following a moving platform.
