I look forward to trying this. Improving locomotion in VR would be great. But I feel we may be overthinking it. I believe simply tracking leg movement and having the player jog on the spot is the solution. Having simulated this myself by holding forward on the controller while jogging on the spot, I believe it's the way forward. If you have a headset, give it a try. I admit walking doesn't feel very natural, but jogging works well. Of course, games don't have this option with most popular current hardware (but foot trackers and whole body trackers do exist). It would be tricky to blend/differentiate movement and jogging, but I think it's doable. I predict that future headsets will do inside-out tracking of your entire body, including the legs (they made need a flip out camera to be far enough out from the body to do this). They've already put out a software update for the Quest that does surprisingly good controller-free hand tracking. There was also a comment on HN a few weeks ago (I'll try to find it) where someone implemented this system and said it worked well.
