Abstract
Currently, many AR/MR researches and applications are based on visual information presentation with narrow field of view HMD. For example, some AR/MR systems navigate users by showing visual information signs or notification messages as needed. However, these information presentations occlude user’s limited field of view with HMD and bother user’s primary activities. In this study, we proposed a novel approach to navigate users by using user’s inconscientious reflex motion with novel type of HMD. First, we construct Head-mounted Vection Display (HMVD) to induce self-motion perception (Vection) by presenting optical flow on peripheral vision. Next, we evaluate this effect of induced self-motion perception by observing user’s walking behaviour with HMVD. The results indicate the proposed approach have possibility of automatic navigation without user’s awareness and recognition.
