초록

가상 멀미는 가상 현실의 대표적 부작용 중 하나로 다양한 요소에 의해 영향을 받는다. Field of view (FOV)는 그 중 대표적인 요소 중 하나로, FOV가 줄어들면 가상 멀미는 줄일 수 있으나 임장감 또한 낮아지는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 최근 연구에 따르면 임장감을 유지하면서 가상 멀미를 줄이기 위해 Dynamic FOV Restrictor (Center-fixed FOV Restrictor)가 제안되었으며, 아바타의 속도와 각속도를 반영하여 동적으로 FOV를 제한하였다. 본 연구 그룹에서는 여기에 머리의 회전과 눈의 움직임을 더하여 Eye-tracking Based Dynamic FOV Restrictor (Eye-tracking FOV Restrictor)를 제안하였다. 본 연구는 FOV Restrictor가 없는 조건과, Center-fixed FOV Restrictor조건, Eye-tracking FOV Restrictor조건의 가상 멀미와 임장감을 연구하였다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 Center-fixed FOV Restrictor조건의 가상 멀미가 다른 두 조건의 가상 멀미 보다 낮은 것을 확인하였고, 세 조건에서 임장감에 차이가 없는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 가상 멀미 저감 요소 기술에 대한 해석과 한계에 대하여 본 논문에서 논의하였다.

Abstract

Simulator sickness is one of the important side effect of virtual reality. Simulator sickness is influenced by various factors, and field of view (FOV) is one of them. The FOV is a viewing angle limited by the screen, and when the FOV is reduced, the simulator sickness is reduced, and the presence is lowered. Previous study developed a Dynamic FOV Restrictor (Center-fixed FOV Restrictor) to reduce simulator sickness while maintaining presence. It is a method that limits the FOV dynamically by reflecting the speed and angular velocity of the avatar. We also developed Eye-tracking Based Dynamic FOV Restrictor (Eye-tracking FOV Restrictor) by adding head rotations and eye movements. This study attempts to compare the simulator sickness and the presence of the No FOV Restrictor condition, the Center-fixed FOV Restrictor condition, and the Eye-tracking FOV Restrictor condition. The results showed that the simulator sickness of the Center-fixed FOV Restrictor condition is significantly lower than other two conditions. The results also showed that there were no significant differences in presence in three conditions. The interpretations and limitations of this study are discussed in this paper.
