The maximum unnoticeable displacement in VR
2017 – 2018
Description
Redirect walking is a technique that aims to manipulate the walking trajectories in immersive virtual reality settings by inducing unnoticeable displacements of the virtual environment. Taking into the advantage of the change blindness phenomenon, visual occlusion during eye blinks has been recently proposed to perform those displacements. This project determined the maximum unnoticeable displacement that can be performed in a practical scenario, which proved to be near 0.8º of occlusion and disocclusion in both horizontal and vertical axes.
