Continuous vs. Discontinuous (Teleport) Locomotion in VR: How Implications can Provide both Benefits and Disadvantages

In this short paper we provide a comparative overview of the implications of using continuous vs. discontinuous (teleport) locomotion methods in VR, and argue how many of these implications can provide both benefits and disadvantages depending on the overall goal, desired user experiences, application scenario/context, as well as individual preferences and one’s propensity for cybersickness.
