Raghav Mittal and  Sai Anirudh Karre working under the supervision of Dr. Y Raghu Reddy presented a paper on Designing Limitless Path in Virtual Reality Environment at the 23rd International Conference On Human-computer Interaction (HCII 2021). The conference was held  online from 24  to 29  July. Research work as explained by the authors:

Walking in a Virtual Environment is a bounded task. It is challenging for a subject to navigate a large virtual environment designed in a limited physical space. External hardware support may be required to achieve such an act in a concise physical area without compromising navigation and virtual scene rendering quality. This paper proposes an algorithmic approach to let a subject navigate a limitless virtual environment within a limited physical space with no additional external hardware support apart from the regular Head-Mounted-Device (HMD) itself. As part of their work, Raghav and Sai developed a Virtual Art Gallery as a use-case to validate their algorithm. They conducted a simple user-study to gather feedback from the participants to evaluate the ease of locomotion of the application. The results showed that their algorithm could generate limitless paths of their use-case under predefined conditions and can be extended to other use-cases.
