That redirected walking video was weird... The guy walked what looked like about 10 feet forwards in VR and went what looked like twice as far in the enormous room that was at least 4x too small to get him to walk in a circle to continue the straight line...

Related: in [1] there's a VR version of the hyperbolic plane where there's "more space" than the Euclidean space we live in. So the person in the demo walks a loop and a half in order to end up back where he started in hyperbolic space. That group has some talks filmed on youtube that explain it in more detail if you want to listen, but I can't find the right snippet.
