Abstract
Recently there has been a promising increment on the research and development of various virtual reality (VR) applications and devices. However, it is still an open issue to combine panoramic images in quality of experience research with different immersive devices. In this paper, we analyze five factors: the sense of immersion, sense of involvement, comfort factor, resolution factor and content factor presented by three typical types of panoramic display devices: CAVE, Oculus rift, and web panorama player. We compare the strength and the weakness of each device. In conclusion, the Oculus is best in immersion and involvement and CAVE is second best, while the web player is best in comfort and resolution. This will be useful for the development of emerging immersive technology.
