If you are using the code from your previous thread you could multiply the position of the sensor by some factor based on it's distance from the source:
Code:
import vizmat
def updateAvatar():
pos=tracker.getPosition()
ori=tracker.getEuler()
distance = vizmat.Distance([0,0,0],[pos[0],0,pos[2]])
if distance <= 0.5:
speedFactor = 1
elif distance > 0.5 and distance <= 1:
speedFactor = 1.25
else:
speedFactor = 1.5
avatar.setPosition([pos[0]*speedFactor,0,pos[2]*speedFactor])
avatar.setEuler([ori[0],0,0])
vizact.onupdate(0,updateAvatar)
