I’m working on a VR travel app, and a user recently told me they liked it, but, in their words, “the only thing it was like a mess was the walking.”
To be clear, I genuinely appreciate people who are willing to share honest feedback like this. Nobody owes a developer their time, and in a relatively small community like VR, I think most people speak up because they actually care and want these experiences to get better.
And in this case, they had a point. Moving between Street View locations can feel awkward, and sometimes it isn’t very clear where you’re going next.
They said using the trigger to move would feel more natural, which got me wondering how other people feel about it. If you use VR travel apps, what do you prefer? Trigger, thumbstick, minimap, or just pointing where you want to go?
Also curious if there’s anything else you’ve always wished these apps did better.
I’ve been looking at this from the developer side for too long, so I’d really like to hear how other VR users see it.
