Increasing Walking in VR using Redirected Teleportation
summary
Portal-based teleportation that repositions and rotates by Alpha and previews minus Beta forces small physical steps of distance D and steers users back toward the center of a 2.2 by 2.4 m tracking area. A prototype on HTC Vive + TPCAST with 14 participants across three environments shows redirected teleportation needs significantly fewer teleportations, yields greater distance walked and larger tracking-space utilization, can rotate users 180° in about three teleports, but takes longer, lowers learnability and occasionally increases disorientation.
