“…Currently the evidence about whether display lag contributes to cybersickness in HMDs appears to be mixed. While some researchers have found that increasing display lag also increases cybersickness [45,46], others have found no significant change [8,14]. However, these apparently discrepant findings might reflect study-based differences in the detectability of lag 1 -since baseline system lag, additional display lag, and the types of head movements studied, often varied markedly from study-tostudy.…”

“…Early findings (using fixed-based simulators rather than HMDs) suggested that traditional vection might be a prerequisite for visually induced motion sickness in stationary observers [25]. However, while fixed-base simulator studies have often reported positive correlations between vection and visually induced motion sickness [14,[31][32][33], other studies appeared to suggest negative relationships between the two phenomena [34], and still others failed to find significant relationships between them [4,28,[35][36][37].…”

“…One popular explanation is based on the fact that head-movements made with HMDs generate asynchronies between the user's visual and inertial sensory inputs [14,22,26]. In any virtual reality system, there are unavoidable delays between the user's physical motion and the computer responding to this tracked motion by updating the visual scene.…”

“…One commonly reported side-effect of HMDs is that they are nausegenic [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The motion sickness experienced with HMDs is most appropriately referred to as 'cybersickness' [11,23].…”

Vection and cybersickness generated by head-and-display motion in the Oculus Rift

Cybersickness is often experienced when viewing virtual environments through head-mounted displays (HMDs). This study examined whether vection (i.e., illusory self-motion) and mismatches between perceived and physical head motions contribute to such adverse experiences. Observers made oscillatory yaw head rotations while viewing stereoscopic optic flow through an Oculus Rift HMD. Vection and cybersickness were measured under 3 conditions of visual compensation for physical head movements: "compensated", "uncompensated", and "inversely compensated". When a nearer aperture was simulated by the HMD, vection was found to be strongest in the "compensated" condition and weakest in the "inversely compensated" condition. However, vection was similar for all 3 conditions during full-field exposures. Cybersickness was most severe for the "inversely compensated" condition, but was not different for the other two conditions. We conclude that mismatches between perceived and physical head-movements can contribute strongly to cybersickness. The relationship between vection and cybersickness is weaker and appears complex.

“…Since then, studies have been conducted to analyze whether the user's posture while viewing VR contents or the visual elements transmitted via the HMD are interfering with the immersion experience [26][27][28][29][30]. When approaching with the same concept, the user interface can be an important factor in increasing immersion and convenience; nevertheless, it may even be a factor that causes motion sickness and the like.…”

A Study on Interaction of Gaze Pointer-Based User Interface in Mobile Virtual Reality Environment

et al. 2017

This research proposes a gaze pointer-based user interface to provide user-oriented interaction suitable for the virtual reality environment on mobile platforms. For this purpose, a mobile platform-based three-dimensional interactive content is produced to test whether the proposed gaze pointer-based interface increases user satisfaction through the interactions in a virtual reality environment based on mobile platforms. The gaze pointer-based interface-the most common input method for mobile virtual reality content-is designed by considering four types: the visual field range, the feedback system, multi-dimensional information transfer, and background colors. The performance of the proposed gaze pointer-based interface is analyzed by conducting experiments on whether or not it offers motives for user interest, effects of enhanced immersion, provision of new experience, and convenience in operating content. In addition, it is verified whether any negative psychological factors, such as VR sickness, fatigue, difficulty of control, and discomfort in using contents are caused. Finally, through the survey experiment, this study confirmed that it is possible to design different ideal gaze pointer-based interface in mobile VR environment according to presence and convenience.

Characteristics of Head-Mounted Displays and Their Effects on Simulator Sickness

Abstract: To reduce the occurrence of SS, a degree of peripheral vision of the external world should be provided. Furthermore, users and designers should be aware that head movement behavior may be affected by HMD characteristics.
