A major factor resulting in cybersickness is the feeling of self-motion experienced when viewing a moving scene in Virtual Reality (VR). Current research indicates that this effect is largely created by motion in the periphery. To discover why this is ...

This study directly compared the novel unexpected vection hypothesis and postural instability-based explanations of cybersickness in virtual reality (VR) using head-mounted displays (HMD) for the first time within a commercial VR game. A total of ...

Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) is a common side-effect when using visual displays such as Virtual Reality applications. The goal of the present study was to further investigate how VIMS is related to the sensations of vection (i.e., ...

While head-mounted display (HMD) based gaming is often limited by cybersickness, research suggests that repeated exposure to virtual reality (VR) can reduce the severity of these symptoms. This study was therefore aimed at: (1) examining the ...

Head-mounted display (HMD)-based virtual reality (VR) is ideally suited for presence and generating compelling visual experiences of self-motion, but users can suffer from side effects associated with head-to-display lag. We used the Oculus Rift ...

Simulator sickness has been one of the major obstacles toward making virtual reality (VR) widely accepted and used. For example, virtual navigation produces vection, which is the illusion of self-motion as one perceives bodily motion despite no movement ...

The relationship between vection (illusory self-motion) and cybersickness is complex. This pilot study examined whether only unexpected vection provokes sickness during head-mounted display (HMD) based virtual reality (VR). 20 participants ran through ...

A virtual reality (VR)-based wheelchair simulator based on a combination of motions attainable by an electric-powered wheelchair and vection-inducing videos displayed on a head-mounted display has been proposed for patient rehabilitation and ...

The phenomenon of cybersickness is currently hindering the mass market adoption of head-mounted display (HMD) virtual reality (VR) technologies. This study examined the effects of dynamic field-of-view (FOV) restriction on the cybersickness ...

Cybersickness in virtual reality (VR) is an ongoing problem, despite recent advances in head-mounted displays (HMDs). Discrete viewpoint control techniques have been recently used by some VR developers to combat cybersickness. Discrete viewpoint ...

We explore a method to reduce motion sickness and allow people to use virtual reality while moving in vehicles. We put forth a usage scenario where the target VR content is based on constant road navigation so that the actual motion can enhance the VR ...

Head mounted displays (HMD) are becoming ubiquitous. Simulator sickness has been an issue since the first simulators and HMDs were created. As computational power and display capabilities increase, so does their utilization in technologies such ...

Recently, we have mobile adaptive information terminal to navigate like to present information during walking (ex. smartphone and glasses-type wearable terminal). On the other hand, attention to the surrounding environment is insufficient and incident ...

Vection is defined as the compelling sensation of illusory self-motion elicited by a moving sensory, usually visual, stimulus. This paper presents collected introspective data, user discomfort and perceived speed data for the experience of linear, ...

Despite recent technological advances, convincing self-motion simulation in Virtual Reality (VR) is difficult to achieve, and users often suffer from motion sickness and/or disorientation in the simulated world. Instead of trying to simulate self-...
