Abstract

We propose a novel framework for monitoring and evaluating user travel activity in Virtual Reality (VR), in real time. Using this framework, we examined how users progressed in mastering two common travel techniques: steering and target-based relocation. We identified three groups of subjects with distinctly different learning patterns, which we called advancing, neutral and regressing learners. In this paper, we explain our evaluation method in detail, describe the experimental study, discuss the results and practical applications of our findings.
