Peripheral Teleportation: A Rest Frame Design to Mitigate Cybersickness During Virtual Locomotion

This IEEE conference talk presents "Peripheral Teleportation," a novel technique designed to mitigate cybersickness during virtual locomotion. Learn about this innovative rest frame design that creates a stable reference in users' peripheral vision through specialized RF cameras that update based on physical movement while implementing alternating teleportations or snap turns. Discover how this approach was compared with a black FOV restrictor and an unrestricted control condition, with results showing significant reduction in user discomfort and increased immersion time. Presented by researchers from the University of Minnesota, University of Central Florida, and Texas State University, this 10-minute session from the "Perception, Interaction, and Learning" track offers valuable insights for improving VR usability and potentially increasing its adoption.
