“…Nonetheless, the slanted floor or lost tracking is not a hardware problem but a software one (Borges et al, 2018). In cases where the participant is required to go out of the tracking area, the tracking problem or the slanted floor may be easily corrected by adding 3 additional trackers (Peer et al, 2018), using software with an improved algorithm (freely distributed by NASA Ames Research Center) (Borges et al, 2018), or by simply updating the firmware of the lighthouse base stations. In summary, the researchers should be technologically competent to not only identify and implement a safe HMD and software, but an HMD and software that facilitate the optimal research methods pertinent to their research needs and aims.…”

Immersive virtual reality (VR) emerges as a promising research and clinical tool. However, several studies suggest that VR induced adverse symptoms and effects (VRISE) may undermine the health and safety standards, and the reliability of the scientific results. In the current literature review, the technical reasons for the adverse symptomatology are investigated to provide suggestions and technological knowledge for the implementation of VR head-mounted display (HMD) systems in cognitive neuroscience. The technological systematic literature indicated features pertinent to display, sound, motion tracking, navigation, ergonomic interactions, user experience, and computer hardware that should be considered by the researchers. Subsequently, a meta-analysis of 44 neuroscientific or neuropsychological studies involving VR HMD systems was performed. The meta-analysis of the VR studies demonstrated that new generation HMDs induced significantly less VRISE and marginally fewer dropouts. Importantly, the commercial versions of the new generation HMDs with ergonomic interactions had zero incidents of adverse symptomatology and dropouts. HMDs equivalent to or greater than the commercial versions of contemporary HMDs accompanied with ergonomic interactions are suitable for implementation in cognitive neuroscience. In conclusion, researchers' technological competency, along with meticulous methods and reports pertinent to software, hardware, and VRISE, are paramount to ensure the health and safety standards and the reliability of neuroscientific results.

“…We carried out the statistical analysis on the dynamic behaviour of the HTC Vive, since in papers [24][25][26][27] there are occasional indications only referring to this issue. Regarding our third goal, we can conclude that the accuracy and the precision of the HTC Vive correlates strongly with the linear/angular speed of the Tracker unit.…”

Spatial pose estimation devices for mobile and cable-suspended robots have been rapidly developed. The HTC Vive sensor, which operates with swept laser beams, has aroused many researchers' interest. We present experiments with a double pendulum robot equipped with the HTC Vive Tracker. A linear feedback controller ensured the tracking of pre-defined end-effector trajectories of various speeds. The pose feedback of the controller was provided by the HTC Vive. As a reference, the realized trajectory was measured by the OptiTrack motion capture system. We report that the motion control of a spatial double pendulum robot can be achieved by using a linear feedback controller together with cable winch and fan actuators providing six independent inputs. The accuracy of the HTC Vive was proved to be sufficient for the feedback position control of indoor mobile robots. We report that the error strongly correlates with the linear/angular velocity, the acceleration and the jerk.
