A Haptic Feedback Device Reduces Dizziness in Users Watching a Virtual Reality Video
Pages 223 - 225
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate methods by which to reduce the dizziness that people experience when watching virtual reality (VR) videos. VR technology is being used in increasing numbers of fields, but a phenomenon that causes dizziness is common. A head-mounted display (HMD) is the device generally worn for viewing virtual reality videos. HMDs put the screen close to the eyes, and users often feel pressure and also experience dizziness. The feeling of dizziness is a result of the unique constitution of each person. In this work, different subjects were selected based on their level of physical fitness. This research showed that haptic feedback caused by vibration during the viewing process can help reduce dizziness. We designed a vibration device, which was mounted on the HMD headband. Through sensing audio from the video, the vibrator is triggered, and the feeling of vibration is feed back to the haptic device. In the study, we used four vibration points, A1, A2, O1, and O2 near the areas of the brain affected by the detection points. The head is a highly sensitive organ that experiences a tactile sensation due to the vibration of the headband when an individual is watching a VR movie, thereby causing inconsistent visual and body perceptions. We found in the current research that the dizziness felt when watching VR video is caused by the inconsistency between visual and cognitive experiences. Typically, the tactile sensation can reduce such cognitive sensations and lower the degree of dizziness experienced by the wearer.
