Virtual Rotations for Maneuvering in Immersive Virtual Environments
summary
Implements Anchored Jumping: users pick a floor center of rotation with the jumping ray, move the controller to choose a target vantage point, and trigger an instantaneous teleport that rotates only around the upright axis. Adds an automatic counter turn (angle between previous forward and selected target added to target rotation) to keep the body-facing comfortable. Pilot with 9 users shows reduced physical rotation and lower confusion; controlled study finds slower planning but faster post-jump reach and general preference for maneuvering.
