VR Locomotion Study

This study is designed to compare the relative benefits of using different hand locomotion strategies in virtual reality in a standardized HCI locomotion task, especially how these strategies compare to using controller-based methods. You will perform a variety of simple tasks in VR using both controllers and hand tracking using the Oculus Quest 2.

The experience should take 30-45 minutes.
