This conference talk presents "Daddy Long Legs" (DLL), a novel virtual reality locomotion technique designed for medium-scale virtual environments. Explore how this approach builds upon Seven-League Boots (7LB) and Ground-Level Scaling (GLS) principles to enhance positional accuracy through elevated perspective while maintaining immersion by preserving the user's interpupillary distance. Learn about the comprehensive user study (n=24) that compared these three locomotion techniques across metrics including comfort, embodiment, workload, and walking behavior. Discover the comparative advantages of each method, with particular attention to why GLS received the most favorable feedback and emerged as the preferred method despite DLL outperforming 7LB across various measures. Part of the IEEE VR 2025 conference session on "Immersive applications and 3DUI."
