Study on reducing VR sickness for wheelchair simulator

Abstract

This paper describes the techniques to reducing VR sickness for wheelchair simulator. The aim of this research is to reduce the VR sickness in the wheelchair simulator, which is caused by the yaw rotation. To reduce the VR sickness, we propose two methods to reducing VR sickness, which are a reference grid frame and a translucent black outer frame. The two frames are displayed fixed to the movement of the head. The comparative experiment was performed to verify the effectiveness and interaction of the proposed methods. The experimental results are statistically analyzed, the analysis finds interaction for the two proposed methods.
