    Summary

    Redirected walking (RDW) combined with Teleportation with Reorientation (TRO) improves virtual reality navigation. TRO enhances RDW performance by realigning user orientation after teleportation, offering a viable alternative to standard teleportation.

    Area of Science:

    • Virtual Reality (VR) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
    • Locomotion techniques in immersive environments
    • Navigation strategies in virtual environments

    Background:

    • Redirected walking (RDW) allows natural movement in virtual environments (VEs) larger than physical spaces (PEs).
    • Full reliance on RDW for large VEs is challenging; teleportation offers rapid, sickness-free travel.
    • Combining RDW with teleportation is practical for VR navigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Introduce Teleportation with Reorientation (TRO) to enhance RDW performance.
    • Investigate TRO's effectiveness in improving VR navigation when combined with RDW.
    • Compare TRO against standard teleportation in conjunction with RDW.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed TRO, a technique that integrates reorientation into teleportation via an immediate orientation offset.
    • Conducted a simulation-based evaluation and a user study to compare TRO with regular teleportation.
    • Assessed performance, workload, usability, likeability, and preference ratings.

    Main Results:

    • TRO significantly improved redirected walking performance compared to regular teleportation.
    • While TRO increased workload and decreased usability, most participants found it acceptable.
    • One-step turning TRO variant received likeability and preference ratings similar to regular teleportation.

    Conclusions:

    • TRO with one-step turning is a viable alternative to regular teleportation for VR navigation when RDW is also used.
    • The technique effectively enhances RDW performance by leveraging teleportation for reorientation.
    • Further research may optimize TRO for improved usability and reduced workload.
