Reorientation Method to Suppress Simulator Sickness in Home VR Contents Using HMD

Conference paper
Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, volume 11112)

Abstract

While home-use HMD including Oculus Rift has been widely spread in the market today, simulator sickness mainly caused by difference between visual information and body sensation has taken up as a problem. Even though it has been proved that simulator sickness is reduced by reflecting actual physical movement to a VR space, many of approaches ever proposed had various restrictions and mechanisms easy to cause simulator sickness. In the current study, such an approach for moving within a VR space is proposed for home-use HMD that is less likely to cause simulator sickness.
