Pose tracking does not yet reliably work in large-scale interactive multi-user VR. Our novel head orientation estimation combines a single inertial sensor located at the user’s head with inaccurate posi- tional tracking. We exploit that users tend to walk in their viewing direction and classify head and body motion to estimate heading drift. This enables low-cost long-time stable head orientation. We evaluate our method and show that we sustain immersion.
