Abstract

It is well-known that employing the Walking-in-Place (WIP) interface can significantly reduce VR sickness in addition to promoting the sense of presence, immersion, and natural interaction. In this poster, we re-examine the conditions for which WIP will effectively reduce VR sickness. In particular, we investigate and compare the cases of applying WIP to navigating on flat terrain vs. up-and-down ramps with respect to the sickness reduction effect. We point out that naively designed WIP/navigation content has the possibility of actually worsening the VR sickness due to the sensory and reality mismatch between the flat real operating environment and the inclined virtual terrain.

The presence of an avatar can reduce cybersickness in Virtual Reality
Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) applications are increasingly being utilized for research, healthcare, and education. Despite their benefits, many VR users report motion sickness-like sensations (cybersickness), such as headache, disorientation, or nausea. ...
