“…It encourages the users to engage their whole body in a realistic walking motion as much as possible but without actually moving forward. Many studies were carried out to compare this method to other locomotion methods (Bozgeyikli et al, 2016b(Bozgeyikli et al, , 2016aMcCullough et al, 2015) or even propose new variants of this method using different gestures inputs (Berger & Wolf, 2018;Nilsson et al, 2013). The results of the studies comparing this locomotion technique to other methods such as Arm Swinging, point and teleport, leaning based methods in seated position, joystick, etc.…”

“…Users can also use their arm to walk through the virtual environment. One of the first methods using the human arm to control the user movements is the "Arm Swinging" methods (Habgood et al, 2018;McCullough et al, 2015). The basic idea of the method is that users swing their arms to move in the direction that they are looking (see Figure 7).…”

“…Walking through the virtual environment using this technique requires tracking the position and the rotation of the user's hand using tracking devices. However, those tracking systems are expensive and very specific and suggest that it will never be a commodity level product (McCullough et al, 2015). Several studies tried to resolve the problem of sensors by using a wearable armband (accelerator sensors) that they attach on the thickest part of the user's forearm: the Myo armband.…”

This study represents a systematic literature review in which we explored the locomotion techniques in virtual reality between 2012 and 2019. We analysed and compared 22 locomotion methods that we have identified in 26 papers included in our review. The objective is to better understand relevant locomotion techniques and their impact on the user experience. The review of the literature has shown a wide range of different locomotion techniques which each technique is characterized by different advantages and drawbacks, but classic locomotion techniques such as joystick outperformed all the proposed technique in the reviewed studies. We also proposed a taxonomy and two types of evaluation for locomotion techniques in virtual environment. These elements provide guidelines that may help researchers to choose the most adapted locomotion technique according to the aim of their study.After the first stage of research based on the article's abstracts, 61 papers were deemed relevant. After the second stage, 26 articles were selected and included in our study.

“…Par défaut, 5 gestes sont reconnus, mais par l'intermédiaire de son SDK, de nouveaux gestes peuvent être appris. Cet appareil est utilisé dans plusieurs travaux relativement récents comme [10,11] pour la performance musicale (violonistes), pour la classification du mouvement des doigts par [32], pour l'analyse de la navigation par geste de la main par [24], pour la réalité virtuelle par [22], pour la création d'un mapping interactif entre les gestes et des sons musicaux [34] etc. Le Myo™ offre plusieurs avantages par rapport aux autres appareils : un coût abordable (environ 250 €), une configuration simple, et la possibilité d'être caché ce qui est très intéressant en terme de performances artistiques [35].…”

We investigate in this work the potential of multimodal rendering for assisting users during culturally-related navigation and manipulation tasks inside virtual environments. We argue that natural gestures play an important role for engaging users in experiencing the cultural dimension of a given environment. To this end, we propose an open system for multiuser visualization and interaction that enables users to employ natural gestures. We explored different configurations and controls in order to achieve the most accurate and natural user experience. One being switching between the navigation and manipulation mode based on distance and orientation towards different points of interest and the other being based on interacting with a virtual UI used for switching between the two modes. We also implemented both a single-user and a multiuser version. The singleuser version having a normal, computer monitor based, point of view is better for a more accurate and detailed viewing experience. Also, in this version the user would be wearing the Myo armband and also using the Leap Motion for a more immersed experience. The multiuser version is based on a holographic pyramid which has two user perspectives, one of the Myo user and the other being the Leap Motion user's, and two for the spectators' point of view. Finally, we discuss findings on the users' perceptions of experienced cultural immersion.
