The Void is a company doing some interesting stuff involving movement within VR. [1] However, to feel like you're walking in a straight line you have to have a space of (if I recall) about 30 feet. Humans are actually really bad at walking in a straight line without any visual cues [2], and this amount of space can trick someone to walking in circles while feeling like they're going forward.
Unfortunately, most of us don't have a basketball court to walk around on, so this sort of solution will probably be reserved for bespoke VR experiences made by The Void and other companies like them.
