The method of claim 1, wherein said location of said user is determined by continually monitoring the location of a portion of said head-mounted display.

Now, a confession: While I have uncountable many-hour sessions in screen-based VR under my belt, this was the longest time I’ve ever worn a head-mounted display (almost) continuously, by far, and it was a bit of a chore. On top of that, the entire idea of a non-head tracked head-mounted movie viewer is flawed.

In the Vrui VR toolkit, each local VR environment defines its own so-called physical coordinate system , which is the system in which the local display screens and/or head-mounted displays are tracked. In OpenGL lingo, the equivalent of navigational coordinates are model coordinates.

Wearing a futuristic head-mounted display and being in a futuristic world is consistent thematically. Also, I didn’t actually have access to an Oculus Rift until around three-quarters of the way into development, so I’d have to hold the Leap Motion device in my mouth to emulate head tracking.
