A New Approach for Reducing Virtual Reality Sickness in Real Time: Design and Validation
ABSTRACT
Background:
Recently, technology that provides VR contents based on streaming service have been rapidly developed. However, there have been few studies to reduce VR sickness that occurs while the user watches VR contents wearing HMD in real time.
Objective:
From this background, a new approach was proposed to measure and reduce VR sickness that occurs while the user watches VR contents wearing HMD in real time.
Methods:
The proposed approach is to apply VR sickness reduction methods in turn according to the user’s real time VR sickness level. Three methods that are known to be effective in reducing VR sickness were used to examine the effectiveness of the proposed approach. which was confirmed from the experimental results.
Results:
The results showed that VR sickness significantly decreased when a new approach was applied in VR content (Where in all cases, P < .05).
Conclusions:
From the results, it was confirmed that VR sickness could be measured without wearing additional equipment, and its reduction method could be applied in real time according to the user’s condition by the proposed approach in this paper.
