    Area of Science:

    • Virtual Reality
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Robotics

    Background:

    • Multi-user redirected walking (RDW) enables synchronous movement in large virtual scenes.
    • Existing RDW methods primarily focus on forward locomotion, neglecting essential non-forward movements.
    • Non-forward steps in RDW can enhance realism and reduce physical space resets.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce FREE-RDW, a novel multi-user RDW method supporting non-forward steps (sideward, backward).
    • To extend virtual reality locomotion capabilities and improve user experience in shared virtual environments.
    • To reduce the frequency of physical space resets in multi-user RDW scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed FREE-RDW, incorporating sideward and backward movement options.
    • Implemented a user collision avoidance strategy using optimal reciprocal collision avoidance (ORCA).
    • Optimized velocity calculations via linear programming and utilized artificial potential fields (APF) for collision reduction.

    Main Results:

    • FREE-RDW effectively supports both forward and non-forward steps in virtual scenes.
    • The method demonstrates superior performance in reducing resets compared to existing RDW algorithms.
    • Enhanced collision avoidance and physical space utilization were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • FREE-RDW significantly advances multi-user RDW by integrating non-forward locomotion.
    • The proposed method improves the realism and immersion of virtual reality experiences.
    • FREE-RDW offers a more robust and efficient solution for large-scale multi-user VR applications.
