 == Using the pattern ==
 On a general level, [[Physical Navigation]] in a game is the combination of [[Game World Navigation]] and [[Real World Gameplay Spaces]]. More specifically, it also requires goal locations and challenges to reaching these. While the challenges are more or less the same as for any [[Game World Navigation]], [[Player Physical Prowess]] may become a gameplay feature unless explicitly design against (through for example avoiding [[Races]] or [[Time Limits]]). In contrast, the goal locations nearly always have additional characteristics due to the real world consequences of using [[Artifact-Location Proximity]], [[Player-Artifact Proximity]], [[Player-Avatar Proximity]], [[Player-Location Proximity]], or [[Player-Player Proximity]].

 === Interface Aspects ===
-[[Physical Navigation]] is a primary example of where players use their own bodies as interfaces for the game. In this sense, [[Mimetic Interfaces]] can provide a form of [[Physical Navigation]] through requiring players to use their bodies to do [[Game World Navigation]] even if they are actually moving [[Avatars]] rather than their own bodies any significant distances.

-[[Physical Navigation]] changes the way [[Game World Exploration]], [[Movement]], [[Races]], and [[Stealth]] function since players can use all their sensory abilities and are limited by their own physical abilities.

 Since it is a real world activity to move and navigate, [[Physical Navigation]] instantiates the pattern [[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]] when present. Since the reason why someone moves in an environment can be difficult to perceive, [[Physical Navigation]] is one of the most accessible ways of creating [[Pervasive Gameplay]] as long as the speed of moving can fit within what is socially acceptable.
