This chapter describes the pipeline of transformations from tracking coordinates to VE coordinates. The chapter starts with an introduction to tracking volumes, coordinate systems and transformations required to set up a physical workspace. The chapter continues with the traditional isometric mapping found in most immersive VEs, with special emphasis on combining walking in a restricted interaction volume via reference coordinates with virtual traveling metaphors (e. g., flying). Nonisometric mapping is introduced with user-centric coordinates that allow scaling linear and angular movements (e. g., seven league boots), and provides a basis for advanced redirection techniques. The chapter concludes with a discussion of simultaneous awareness of physical and virtual walking space in real walking implementations.
