Abstract
A computer-executed method is disclosed for collective navigation of distributed virtual reality (VR) devices. The method obtains a source vertex and a destination vertex for a VR device. The source vertex and the destination vertex include vertices of a graph model of a navigable space having a plurality of vertices. The vertices represent a point within the navigable space and the plurality of edges represent a path segment between two corresponding vertices. A subset of possible vertices, selected from the plurality of vertices, is determined for a navigable path. A vertex traffic potential is determined for each vertex of the subset of possible vertices. The navigable path, including one or more consecutive path segments selected to minimize both segment path lengths and vertex traffic potentials, is determined from the source vertex to the destination vertex.
