Velocity Guided Amplification of View Rotation for Seated VR Scene Exploration

This paper presents a velocity guided amplification approach for head rotation in VR headsets, enabling the amplification factor to be dynamically changed according to head rotation velocity, and keep it within the comfort range. We first conducted experiments to investigate the effects of head rotation velocity on human sense towards the virtual view rotation and propose the velocity guided amplification approach. We then performed extensive evaluation by comparing our amplification method with existing linear mapping methods that use constant amplification factors. Results demonstrate that users achieve the best performance on given tasks with less discomfort when using our technique.
