Showcase 2.0 Features / 7. Main Menu User Interface / Accessible Locomotion

Time Estimate

20 Hours

Summary

Provide users with advanced locomotion accessibility features, including snap-turning, tunneling effects, and motion reduction options, to minimize discomfort and maximize usability.

Key Goals

  • Enable users to customize advanced locomotion settings to enhance comfort and accessibility.
  • Reduce motion sickness and discomfort for sensitive users through specialized features.
  • Ensure accessible locomotion options are seamlessly integrated with existing movement systems.

Responsibilities

  • Develop accessibility settings, including snap-turning, tunneling effects, and adjustable motion sensitivity.
  • Integrate these settings into the locomotion configuration menu.
  • Test features extensively to ensure they reduce discomfort while maintaining functionality.
  • Align accessibility options with VR standards to accommodate a wide range of user needs.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Users can configure advanced locomotion settings easily and intuitively.
  • Accessibility features reduce reported motion sickness by at least 25% among sensitive users.
  • Settings integrate seamlessly with existing locomotion systems and do not disrupt usability.

Risks and Mitigations

  • Risk: Users fail to identify or utilize accessibility features effectively.
    Mitigation: Highlight these options during onboarding and provide clear descriptions in the menu.
  • Risk: Accessibility settings conflict with other movement systems.
    Mitigation: Standardize compatibility through rigorous testing and integration workflows.

Success Metrics

  • 90% of users report reduced motion sickness with accessible locomotion features enabled.
  • Positive feedback highlights these settings as effective in enhancing user comfort.
  • Locomotion-related support requests decrease by 30% after implementing accessibility options.
