Leveraging Configuration Spaces and Navigation Functions for Redirected Walking

Redirected walking has been shown to be an effective technique for allowing natural locomotion in a virtual environment that is larger than the physical environment. In this position paper, I identify two large limitations of redirected walking and provide brief descriptions of solutions. I continue to introduce the conceptual design for an algorithm, inspired by techniques in the field of coordinated multi-robotics, that improves upon the current state of redirected walking by addressing these limitations. I then explain how it will become the foundation for my thesis and provide future research vectors.
