Abstract
In this paper a comparison of selected algorithms used to handle VR head collisions was presented. The following four methods were chosen and implemented: screen fade, delayed push-back, instant push-back, and teleportation. This paper examined what effects these methods have on VR sickness, the sense of presence, and the usability level.
