Mitigation of Cybersickness in Immersive 360° Videos
Presented at IEEE Virtual Reality (VR) Workshop on Immersive Sickness Prevention (WISP), March 2021
Abstract
We investigate the mitigation of cybersickness in 360° videos, a phenomenon caused by the visually induced impression of ego-motion while being physically at rest. We evaluate the effectiveness of scene modulations to reduce motion in the peripheral visual field by deliberately blurring or opaque occluding eccentric view areas of up to ten degrees. Our results indicate that both methods effectively reduce cybersickness in pre-recorded 360° video with the dynamic opaque occlusion method yielding best results.
