A Proposal for Discreet Auxiliary Figures for Reducing VR Sickness and for Not Obstructing FOV

We aim to reduce the virtual reality (VR) sickness by superimposing discreet auxiliary figures: “gazing point” on the center of the user’s field of view, “dots” on the four corners of the field of view, “user’s horizontal line” links a line to the user’s head movement, and “real world’s horizontal line” links to the real-world horizontal line. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the degree to which these figures could reduce VR sickness in a VR environment on a head-mounted display (HMD) by using Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) and skin conductance (SC) on the user’s palm. The results show that the VR sickness tended to reduce by the superimposition of “dots.”
