ABSTRACT
Head-Mounted Display based Virtual Reality is proliferating. However, Visually Induced Motion Sickness (VIMS), which prevents many from using VR without discomfort, bars widespread adoption. Prior work has shown that limiting the Field of View (FoV) can reduce VIMS at a cost of also reducing presence. Systems that dynamically adjust a user’s FoV may be able to balance these concerns. To explore this idea, we present a technique for standard 360° video that shrinks FoVs only during VIMS inducing scenes. It uses Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping and peripheral optical flow to compute camera movements and reduces FoV during rapid motion or optical flow. A user study (N=23) comparing 360° video with unrestricted-FoVs (90°), reduced fixed-FoVs (40°) and dynamic-FoVs (40°-90°) revealed that dynamic-FoVs mitigate VIMS while maintaining presence. We close by discussing the user experience of dynamic-FoVs and recommendations for how they can help make VR comfortable and immersive for all.

Adaptive Field-of-view Restriction: Limiting Optical Flow to Mitigate Cybersickness in Virtual Reality
VRST '22: Proceedings of the 28th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyDynamic field-of-view (FOV) restriction is a widely used software technique to mitigate cybersickness in commercial virtual reality (VR) applications. The classical FOV restrictor is implemented using a symmetric mask that occludes the periphery in ...
Effects of dynamic field-of-view restriction on cybersickness and presence in HMD-based virtual reality
AbstractThe phenomenon of cybersickness is currently hindering the mass market adoption of head-mounted display (HMD) virtual reality (VR) technologies. This study examined the effects of dynamic field-of-view (FOV) restriction on the cybersickness ...
