No effects of avatar velocity on homing performance.

Shown are the results of an analysis of the effect of different translation velocities on performance in a triangle completion task in a virtual steppe (see ‘Showcase Part A: homing at different speeds’ in main text). Position errors for integrated pointing trials at the start of the return leg (1st pointing) and after a distance of 12.5 meters from the start of the return leg (2nd pointing) are shown together with the final position error of a given trial (trajectory end). Boxes show the median response for each experimental condition (from n = 17-24 repetitions) for each of N = 8 participants. Notches show 95% confidence intervals around the median, whiskers extend to 1.5x IQR, and diamonds are outliers.
