Researchers Develop New Method to Combat Virtual Reality Sickness

Steven K. Feiner, a Columbia Engineering Professor, and Ajoy Fernandes MS’16 have jointly invented a technique for fighting virtual reality (VR) sickness that can be used for consumer head-worn VR displays, such as Google Cardboard, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Sony PlayStation VR. Their approach both slightly yet dynamically changes the user’s field of view (FOV) based on the visually perceived motion, as the user continues to be physically stable and yet virtually traverses an environment.
