ABSTRACT:
A virtual reality system is provided in which a user can be assured of reaching a destination in a virtual world within a specific time while providing the impression that the user is free to roam the virtual space at will. A virtual leader is projected in front of the user by the system. The virtual leader appears to lead the user but is actually linked to a virtual stick connected to the user, so that as the user moves or turns, the leader moves or turns to stay at substantially the same position relative to the user.
