Glove position shows the opponent’s guard - Align physical pose with virtual distance and available space boundaries. - [The Thrill of the Fight - VR Boxing](https://store.steampowered.com/app/494150/) ## How it works VR locomotion connects physical pose to virtual routes while maintaining understandable space boundaries and turning methods. ## Variants ### Mechanic variants - Teleportation selects a validated destination. - Continuous movement assigns speed to a separate axis. - Snap turning changes orientation in steps. - Room-scale movement uses the available physical area. ## Design example A player inspects a bench by stepping physically and travels between rooms using selected teleport controls. Prototype check: Test seated play, recentering and tracking-boundary changes without requiring a physical step for completion. ## Context and limits Spatial and specialized input requires calibration, clear action confirmation and a way to continue after signal loss. Each overview separates player actions, state changes and alternative rules. Examples are hypothetical design scenarios, not claims about a named game. A prototype check states an observable question for the next iteration. Existing detailed references remain separately linked from the direction map. ## Connected materials ## Sources and provenance Original bilingual editorial overviews authored for gamemechanics.pro on 2026-10-20 and reviewed on 2026-10-21.
