SUMMARY:23. Hand Gesture-Driven Vertical Teleportation: Navigating Complex
  Height Differences in VR
DESCRIPTION:Hibiki Kirihata (Toyo University) and Tomokazu Ishikawa (Toyo 
 University, Prometech CG Research)\n\nThis paper presents two novel telepo
 rtation methods for VR environments that address limitations of convention
 al parabola-based approaches when navigating varying heights. The SphereBa
 ckcast and Penetration methods utilize straight-line specification for int
 uitive movement to elevated locations. Experiments with 22 participants sh
 owed our methods significantly outperformed parabola-based teleportation f
 or height differences above 2m, while maintaining comparable performance o
 n flat terrain. NASA-TLX and SUS evaluations confirmed improved usability 
 and reduced cognitive load, indicating these methods can be readily integr
 ated into existing VR applications.\n\nINVITED TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE S
 TUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Exp
 erience\n\n
