| Description: |
This work introduces two redirection techniques based on virtual environment (VE) manipulation. The first alters the orientation of the VE relative to the physical space using seamless teleportation in a corridor that allows users to skip certain circular segments. The second shifts the position of the VE by moving walls when the user is not looking. Both techniques were evaluated in user studies with 21 and 22 participants, respectively, under varying degrees of manipulation to assess detection thresholds and user perception. For the teleportation, half of the participants did not detect any manipulation; those who did either observed a change in corridor shape while assuming consistent orientation, or noticed a change in the spatial layout. The shifting walls enabled displacements up to 28.4% of the room’s side length without being noticed. Both techniques showed low disturbances and cognitive load, highlighting their potential for future use. |
