MARR : A Multi-Agent Reinforcement Resetter for Redirected Walking

The reset technique of Redirected Walking (RDW) forcibly reorients the user's direction overtly to avoid collisions with boundaries, obstacles, or other users in the physical space. However, excessive resetting can decrease the user's sense of immersion and presence. Several RDW studies ha...

520 |a The reset technique of Redirected Walking (RDW) forcibly reorients the user's direction overtly to avoid collisions with boundaries, obstacles, or other users in the physical space. However, excessive resetting can decrease the user's sense of immersion and presence. Several RDW studies have been conducted to address this issue. Among them, much research has been done on reset techniques that reduce the number of resets by devising reset direction rules or optimizing them for a given environment. However, existing optimization studies on reset techniques have mainly focused on a single-user environment. In a multi-user environment, the dynamic movement of other users and static obstacles in the physical space increase the possibility of resetting. In this study, we propose Multi-Agent Reinforcement Resetter (MARR), which resets the user taking into account both physical obstacles and multi-user movement to minimize the number of resets. MARR is trained using multi-agent reinforcement learning to determine the optimal reset direction in different environments. This approach allows MARR to effectively account for different environmental contexts, including arbitrary physical obstacles and the dynamic movements of other users in the same physical space. We compared MARR to other reset technologies through simulation tests and user studies, and found that MARR outperformed the existing methods. MARR improved performance by learning the optimal reset direction for each subtle technique used in training. MARR has the potential to be applied to new subtle techniques proposed in the future. Overall, our study confirmed that MARR is an effective reset technique in multi-user environments
