Integrating Continuous and Teleporting VR Locomotion into a Seamless "HyperJump" Paradigm

Virtual reality comes with many promises. It allows us to explore the world in ways that were not possible before, like flying untethered or teleporting, experiencing a dream-like state while fully awake, or having a world that responds to our every whim through the blinking of our eyes or gesture of our hands. To fulfill many potentials it bears, it should allow users to navigate freely through the virtual world they create.
