Abstract
Dynamic viewpoint tethering is an innovative display technique which has been proposed to support effective navigation in large-scale virtual environments, by integrating information from different frames of reference. In this paper, we explain the modelling of a dynamic tether and report our latest research findings in investigating the optimal parametric values of tether configuration and their relations to human users' navigational performance. Tethered displays with different parametric configurations were compared. Participants were instructed to control an aircraft-shaped cursor flying in a virtual tunnel and to answer questions about the environment. The results revealed that critically damped tethers supported the best local guidance performance. No significant global awareness performance differences were observed under all display conditions.
