Gesture-based control in virtual reality applications provides a more natural interaction but at the same time brings about new challenges in regards to implementing actions such as locomotion. In an effort to maintain a user-driven approach to the design of more intuitive and natural control gestures, we have run an exploratory study with a rural partner community in Southern Africa. We conducted one gesture elicitation session, which informed the implementation of a locomotion control gesture, which was evaluated after a second elicitation session. The findings will guide application specific implementations and further research to confirm user approval and minimized cybersickness.
