world into the computer generated virtual world. Instead of using a mouse/keyboard to move around a computer game or architectural design, you have now become that controller.
Virtual Reality can affect everything from healthcare to education, architecture to gaming and entertainment. There are projects already underway being tested as a therapeutic tool for conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder in the forces or phantom limb syndrome in amputees. Major architects such as Foster and Partners, also use it to design buildings. We have even had local Jersey architects physically walking around their 3D plans of local buildings.
Motion in VR There is no doubt that VR is about to change the world. However, there is one small issue that can prevent VR from being perfect and that is the possibility of motion sickness.
VR experiences that display static content or revolve around a seated user and interacting with a non moving or slow moving world are not affected. However VR experiences that require the user to walk, run or make rapid changes of position or VR experiences that involve a fast moving vehicle can affect a surprising number of people who have the feeling of nausea/motion sickness.
This is an entirely normal reaction as the VR scene is incredibly realistic and the movement that the eyes see in the VR world is not felt by the body in the 'real world'. This leads to confusion in the brain as to why there is no associated feeling of motion/ balance changes within the body.
The human brain tends to believe what the eyes see and as
the VR world is incredibly realistic, we are easily immersed and believe that we are really ‘there’. However, the brain also relies on the vestibular system in our ears which is
our own built-in inertia/balance
system. And when the input from the vestibular system does not match the input from the eyes, there is the possibility of motion sickness developing.
Thankfully, a large percentage of people using VR are able to override this feeling naturally and fully enjoy the experience. However, there are some people who are unable to override that feeling or are unable to properly progress in a virtual world using a controller.
So Vizuality Studio is working hard to bring motion to increase the feeling of realism/immersion and thus reduce any feelings of motion sickness. If you are in a racing car, for example, not only will you see the track in front of you but you will also feel the physical forces from the car and track too.
That's “Motion in VR”.
