The change of the user's viewpoint in an immersive virtual environment, called locomotion, is one of the key components in a virtual reality interface. Effects of locomotion, such as simulator sickness or disorientation, depend on the specific design of the locomotion method and can influence the task performance as well as the overall acceptance of the virtual reality system. Thus, it is important that a locomotion method achieves the intended effects. The complexity of this task has increased with the growing number of locomotion methods and design choices in recent years. Locomotion taxonomies are classification schemes that group multiple locomotion methods and can aid in the design and selection of locomotion methods. Like locomotion methods themselves, there exist multiple locomotion taxonomies, each with a different focus and, consequently, a different possible outcome. However, there is little research that focuses on locomotion taxonomies. We performed a systematic literature review to provide an overview of possible locomotion taxonomies and analysis of possible decision criteria such as impact, common elements, and use cases for locomotion taxonomies. We aim to support future research on the design, choice, and evaluation of locomotion taxonomies and thereby support future research on virtual reality locomotion.

“…We reviewed past research on taxonomies, attributes, and evaluation criteria for VR locomotion. As we intend to capture the largest amount of LTs, we do not include analyses that are specifc to only a subset of the existing techniques (such as redirection [19,25] and walking-based LTs [18]).…”

Locomotion techniques are an important part of the virtual reality (VR) experience, as they enable a means of movement within simulated computer graphics.Studies have shown that locomotion techniques cause unpleasant effects related to cybersickness. In this article, we report on the results of a user study (N = 29) aimed to investigate and compare three types of locomotion techniques in VR in terms of their impact on cybersickness. The different locomotion techniques are tested in two different contrast scene settings, daytime and nighttime, to further explore the potential impact of scene contrast adjustments. For the evaluation of cybersickness, we used a questionnaire to obtain subjective ratings, and heart rate monitoring as an objective metric. Results show that a linear movement locomotion technique provokes the highest level of cybersickness, and that women have a higher heart rate as compared to men when navigating and interacting in a VR scene. Regarding the influence of scene contrast, results showed that scenes with daylight were better suited to participants in almost all tested scenarios. In addition to reported findings related to locomotion techniques and the impact on cybersickness, we highlight that a key contribution is the utilized test methodology.
