Motion-controlled portals in virtual reality

摘要

Methods and systems of navigating within a virtual environment are described. In an example, a processor may generate a portal that includes a set of portal boundaries. The processor may display the portal within a first scene of the virtual environment being displayed on a device. The processor may display a second scene of the virtual environment within the portal boundaries. The processor may receive sensor data indicating a movement of a motion controller. The processor may reposition the portal and the second scene in the first scene based on the sensor data, wherein the first scene remains stationary on the device during the reposition of the portal and the second scene. The processor may translate a location of the portal within the first scene to move the portal towards a user of the device until the second scene replaces the first scene being displayed on the device.
