ABSTRACT:
A virtual reality system is provided in which a user can be guided within a virtual space to a specific destination within a specific time while providing the impression that the user is free to roam the virtual space at will. A leader object or "virtual guide" is projected ahead of the user and is constrained to move along a predetermined path. The user is allowed to move at will within a controlled distance of the leader object. That distance may change depending on the user's location and on elapsed time. Thus the user can be advanced through the virtual reality experience by advancing the leader object.
