Original Abstract Submitted
A method for controlling movement of a virtual character in a virtual reality environment provided by a virtual reality device is disclosed. The virtual reality device comprising a motion tracker, wherein positions of the virtual character in the virtual reality environment correlate to positions of a user of the virtual reality device in a physical movement area. The method comprises obtaining positions of the virtual reality device in the physical movement area from the motion tracker, determining positions of the virtual character in the virtual reality environment based on the obtained positions of the virtual reality device in the physical movement area, and controlling movement of the virtual character in the virtual reality environment by applying the determined positions in a movement of the virtual character in relation to a position C in the physical movement area. Corresponding computer program product, apparatus, and virtual reality headset are also disclosed.
