Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) control method includes displaying, by a VR device, a VR environment. The VR environment is presented from a perspective in the VR environment that is defined with respect to a reference frame in the VR environment. A graphical indicator of a current real-world position of the VR device with respect to a real-world reference position is displayed. The graphical indicator tracks the perspective during movement of the perspective to remain displayed during the movement of the perspective. The method includes determining a velocity of the reference frame based on a displacement between the current real-world position and the real-world reference position; and translating the reference frame in the VR environment at the velocity.
