Abstract

The Shooting-Based Technique (SBT) is a highly interactive locomotion method in virtual reality (VR) that enables user navigation through simulated shooting actions. SBT has already been used in a commercialized product and offers users a novel experience compared to traditional techniques. However, there has been scant research or scientific investigation into SBT. Thus, to further discover the possibility of SBT, we implemented it by creating an archery scenario and conducting an initial user study involving 24 participants in comparison with two widely used locomotion methods: steering-based joystick and teleport. Initial results indicate a preference for SBT among participants, which lays the foundation for extensive research in the future.
