“…This seems to be true of both rotational and positional movement. Previous academic research into the relationship between navigation speed and motion sickness in VR has observed a stabilization of nausea ratings at high speeds, but not a drop of the kind that would naturally lead to this conclusion [13]. Other research has simply concluded that infinite velocity techniques (teleportation) cause less discomfort [8].…”

PlayStation VR has quickly built up a significant userbase of over a million headsets and its own ecosystem of games across a variety of genres. These games form part of a rapidly evolving testing ground for design solutions which can usefully inform HCI design for virtual reality. This paper reviews every PlayStation VR title released in the first three months of its lifecycle in order to identify emerging themes for locomotion. These themes are discussed with respect to the lessons learned as part of the on-going development of an Environmental Narrative game for PlayStation VR as part of the Horizon 2020 REVEAL project.

“…In fact, the increase due to immersion is just about 1 unit. This is a small number compared to published results of nausea effects in virtual environments from studies also using the SSQ, e.g., [24] in which reports range up to 3.5. The small increase of the Nausea scale we see due to immersion is consistent with our very infrequent reports of nausea in our virtual environment (system or this experiment?).…”

The experience of motion sickness in a virtual environment may be measured through pre-and post-experiment self-reported questionnaires such as the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ). Although research provides converging evidence that users of virtual environments can experience motion sickness, there have been no controlled studies to determine to what extent the user's subjective response is a demand characteristic resulting from pre-and post-test measures. In this study, subjects were given either SSQ's both pre and post virtual environment immersion, or only post immersion. This technique was used to test for contrast effects due to demand characteristics in which administration of the questionnaire itself suggests to the participant that the virtual environment may produce motion sickness. Results indicate that reports of motion sickness after immersion in a virtual environment are much greater when both pre and post questionnaires are given than when only a post test questionnaire is used. The implications for assessments of motion sickness in virtual environments are discussed.

“…All participants had the same exposure time to reduce differences in simulator sickness (So et al, 2001). It is also known that navigation speed affects simulator sickness, being maximal at 10 m/s and stabilizing for faster navigation speeds (So et al, 2001). In our case, participants were able to achieve speeds in the range of 0-7 m/s.…”

Ground control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is a key to the advancement of this technology for commercial purposes. The need for reliable ground control arises in scenarios where human intervention is necessary, e.g. handover situations when autonomous systems fail. Manual flights are also needed for collecting diverse datasets to train deep neural network-based control systems. This axiom is even more prominent for the case of unmanned flying robots where there is no simple solution to capture optimal navigation footage. In such scenarios, improving the ground control and developing better autonomous systems are two sides of the same coin. To improve the ground control experience, and thus the quality of the footage, we propose to upgrade onboard teleoperation systems to a fully immersive setup that provides operators with a stereoscopic first person view (FPV) through a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display. We tested users (n = 7) by asking them to fly our drone on the field. Test flights showed that operators flying our system can take off, fly, and land successfully while wearing VR headsets. In addition, we ran two experiments with prerecorded videos of the flights and walks to a wider set of participants (n = 69 and n = 20) to compare the proposed technology to the experience provided by current drone FPV solutions that only include monoscopic vision. Our immersive stereoscopic setup enables higher accuracy depth perception, which has clear implications for achieving better teleoperation and unmanned navigation. Our studies show comprehensive data on the impact of motion and simulator sickness in case of stereoscopic setup. We present the device specifications as well as the measures that improve teleoperation experience and reduce induced simulator sickness. Our approach provides higher perception fidelity during flights, which leads to a more precise better teleoperation and ultimately translates into better flight data for training deep UAV control policies.
