Locomotion Intermediate: Teleportation
Explore the use of teleportation as a locomotion technique in VR by creating Teleportation Areas, adding anchors, and customizing reticles to navigate.
Navigating physical constraints in VR
VR presents a unique challenge: the limitations of physical space for the user. Imagine a virtual scene where the user needs to walk long distances to reach a pond for fishing. This scenario is challenging, if not impossible, to replicate due to physical space constraints. Even users with ample room to experience VR can’t freely move around because walking with a head-mounted display covering their eyes poses safety risks.
To address this limitation, we have the Continuous Move locomotion option. However, it comes with a significant drawback: motion sickness. To counter this, we introduce another locomotion technique: teleportation. This is a widely used method for seamless navigation within and between scenes. This lesson delves into the details of teleportation.
