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
