Primary approach: combine Teleportation for comfort and long-distance repositioning with Continuous Move for short, precise adjustments. This documentation follows the standard Unity XR Interaction Toolkit (XRI) template flow and how it is used in Molca VR scenes.

​
Locomotion model

Use two locomotion modes in parallel:
  • Teleportation for comfort-sensitive users and fast repositioning.
  • Continuous movement for local motion during interaction-heavy tasks.
  • Snap turn for rotation in all scenarios (no continuous/smooth rotation).
In practice, users teleport to an area first, then use continuous move to fine-tune their position. On the XR Origin / player rig, keep these XRI pieces wired and enabled:
  • Locomotion System (or mediator, depending on XRI version)
  • Teleportation Provider
  • Continuous Move Provider
  • Snap Turn Provider
  • Left / right hand input actions for move, turn, and teleport activation
For Molca projects, ensure the rig also includes VRPlayerManager so locomotion can be toggled centrally when a step requires precision.

​
Teleportation setup

  • Place Teleportation Area or Teleportation Anchor on valid floor / platform surfaces.
  • Keep target layers explicit so users cannot teleport outside training bounds.
  • Use nav-safe surfaces only (avoid colliders that place users inside props).
  • If teleport is part of sequence validation, review TeleportStep behavior and complete-hook requirements.

​
Continuous movement setup

  • Keep movement speed moderate and consistent across scenarios.
  • Disable gravity / flying behavior unless a scenario specifically requires vertical free-move.
  • Tune strafe and forward speeds equally unless a design reason exists.
  • Prefer conservative acceleration for comfort in enterprise training contexts.

​
Runtime control in Molca

During precision interactions (for example valve / knob operations), temporarily disable locomotion to prevent accidental drift:

​
Comfort and UX tips

  • Keep teleport ray and reticle clear, high contrast, and always visible when active.
  • Avoid forced camera motion from scripts while continuous locomotion is enabled.
  • Keep snap turn as the only rotation mode across all builds.
  • Offer a simple in-app locomotion preference (teleport only vs mixed mode) when possible.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Teleport ray appears but cannot land - Verify teleport areas/anchors, interaction layers, and colliders.
  • Continuous move does not respond - Check input action bindings and that the provider is enabled on the active rig.
  • Rotation feels too smooth / causes discomfort - Disable Continuous Turn Provider and keep only Snap Turn Provider active.
  • User keeps moving during step interaction - Disable locomotion through VRPlayerManager for that interaction window.
  • Motion sickness complaints - Lower move/turn speed, prefer snap turn, and rely more on teleport.
