u-DFOV: User-Activated Dynamic Field of View Restriction for Managing Cybersickness and Task Performance
Abstract
Dynamic field of view restriction is one effective way of mitigating cybersickness by modulating the amount of visual information during virtual navigation. However, in the presence of an interactive task for which visibility is important, it can impede the task performance. This poster examined the efficiency of users, manually engaging the dynamic field of view restriction to control and mitigate cybersickness while performing interactive tasks. The comparative experiment has shown that the user-activated method significantly reduced cybersickness as much as the automatic method. However, it also achieved significantly higher task performance and usability despite the manual control.Â
