This document outlines the forms of locomotion explored in the Gallery of Freedom. Contributors who focus on VR work on but aren't limited to locomotion.

Alongside performance glitching, acceleration and smooth movement is virtual reality is the primary cause of motion sickness/nausea. From tours, we know that the majority of people who do not frequently use VR get motion sickness overtime from smooth joystick movement mechanics. As a result, it is important that we make teleportation the primary method of locomotion. However, there are people who prefer moving through the gallery with smooth locomotion, these people are generally people who use VR often.

Smooth Movement Benefits:

• Easier for people to stick together when moving through the gallery.
• Smooth movement is a generally more intuitive mode of locomotion and requires less explaining.

Teleportation benefits:

• Is the most comfortable form of locomotion for people. Less motion sickness
• Enables quick movement.

Locomotion Considerations:

• One of the main points of feedback we have received is that visitors love how they can move around and view the artwork vs. how Facebook spaces makes the player stay in one place.

Below are tasks to support locomotion in Gof.
