Exam 2 Review Flashcards
VR sickness
Symptoms similar to those of motion sickness due to a VR experience
List the symptoms of VR sickness
headaches stomach awareness nausea vomiting pallor sweating fatigue drowsiness disorientation
What should be done to reduce VR sickness?
Reduce the FOV
What should be done with the FOV?
Dynamically adjusted depending on virtual movement
What data was collected during the FOV on VR sickness experiment?
Discomfort scores every five waypoints
Was it found that decreasing the FOV affected the presence?
No
T/F Distance and size perception are often biased in VR
T
What were the three settings used in distance estimation?
Negative parallax
Zero parallax
Positive parallax
Define: Negative parallax
Virtual object is rendered in front of physical display
Define: Zero parallax
Virtual object is rendered at the physical display
Define: Positive parallax
Virtual object is rendered behind the physical display
What task was used in the distance estimation experiment?
A blind triangulation pointing task
What was the finding of the distance estimation experiment?
Increased distance underestimation for positive parallax conditions
What was the pointing task procedure?
Viewed a target’s position
Virtual view was blinded by pressing a button
Participants would take two steps left or right
Then point at the target as accurately as possible
T/F Most users experience some imbalance in VR
T
What did the imbalance experiment investigate?
how a static rest frame (SRF) affects balance in an HMD
Define: static rest frame
A cross-hair always rendered in the same position on the user’s display screen
What task were the participants asked to do in the balance impairment study?
Dodge tennis balls
What did the balance impairment study conclude?
An SRF significantly improves balance for users with balance impairments
What was investigated in the body ownership experiment?
Investigated the effects of visual realism of virtual hand representations
What is low realism?
Abstract (sphere)
What is medium realism?
Iconic (skeleton hand)
What is high realism?
Human (actual hand model)
What task would you use in a body ownership study?
Pick-and-place and spinning saw tasks
What could be concluded from a study on body ownership about the sense of agency?
Found sense of agency (i.e., motor activity control) to be greater for less realistic hands
What could be concluded from a study on body ownership about the sense of ownership?
Found sense of ownership (i.e., one’s own body is the source of sensations) to be greater for the human hand
What was investigated in the virtual human study?
Investigated the effects of a shared real-virtual object (a wobbly table) on presence and social presence
Define: Social presence
Sense of being socially connected with another person
