	Locomotion in [[virtual reality]] presents many problems and many opportunities to innovate. Aside from traditional [[input devices]] like mouse, keyboard and gamepad, the most obvious method of locomotion is simply walking around within the range of the [[positional tracking]] devices. One problem presented by "walking" is the available space of the room. Physical obstacles such as walls and objects will prevent the user from advancing. One solution to this problem is a omni-directional treadmill such as [[Omni]]. Another option is to use teleportation or elevators to virtually transport the user to a new environment while keeping the physical space the same.

-No need to call it anything fancy. This method of locomotion is pretty simple and obvious. Look or point in the direction you want to go and click a button to warp. Screen fades to black if you are more concerned with keeping players from getting sick than you are with frustrating them with slow navigation!
