Abstract

This paper emphasises a navigation method in a virtual environment, which is one of the major interfaces for interactivity between human and virtual environment. It proposes a new navigation method: intelligent cruise-control navigation (ICCN) which provides a natural navigation method in a virtual environment and can improve telepresence and immersion; the final goal of virtual reality. The ICCN is composed of 3 major phases: constant velocity navigation (CVN); collision detecting and avoiding; and adjusting path phases. The ICCN can reduce user fatigue and improve user presence and reality in the virtual environments
