VirtualSpace - Overloading Physical Space with Multiple Virtual Reality Users
summary
VirtualSpace is a software system that packs four VR users into a single 16 m² tracking area by assigning each user a persistent tile and executing synchronized focus maneuvers and rotations that shuffle users between tiles. Implemented in Unity with a C# API and mobile streaming to Samsung S6 headsets, it runs real-time planning and execution. A 16‑participant study shows users cover more physical distance and report feeling less confined, reducing per‑user space to about 4 m².
